Raznoliki stavovi – život Leonarda Cohena

Raznoliki stavovi – život Leonarda Cohena

Ira B. Nadel

From the beginning of his career, Leonard Cohen lived unobtrusively, staying away from the media, but the world was still surprised when, in 1993, he shaved his head, took off his suit and put on a robe, and went to the Zen Buddhist monastery on Mount Bal

Leonard Cohen, one of the most famous and respected Canadian poets, novelists and musicians, remained an enigma during half a century of his career: a bohemian from a well-to-do middle-class family who spent his life wandering the world, a singer-songwriter accused of "cutting veins" with his songs, "wreathed the poet of pessimism", a poet and rock star who fled to a Zen Buddhist monastery.

During all this time, Cohen kept his privacy well: what we know about him comes mainly from his lyrics. Using unpublished letters, diaries, notebooks, poems, and manuscripts from Cohen's archives, and incorporating interviews with Cohen and his closest friends and associates, Ira Nadel traces Cohen's life from his early years in Montreal, through the Greek island of Hydra, Los Angeles, and the monastery on Mt. Baldy, until his recent return to the world, exposing what Cohen called "my life in art," art that is "serious, which many confuse with depression."
