Der König des Kung Fu: Bruce Lee - sein Leben und Kampf

Der König des Kung Fu: Bruce Lee - sein Leben und Kampf

The book presents an intimate and authentic biography of this martial arts legend and film icon. Linda Lee provides personal insight into her husband's life, philosophy, and legacy, giving the book emotional depth and authenticity.

Bruce Lee, born Lee Jun-fan in 1940 in San Francisco, grew up in Hong Kong, where he began his acting career as a child. Due to gang conflicts, he moved to the United States in 1959, studied philosophy at the University of Washington, and developed his own martial arts style, Jun Fan Gung Fu, based on Wing Chun, which he learned from Yip Man. He later created Jeet Kune Do, a philosophy that emphasizes adaptability, simplicity, and the combination of techniques from different styles, such as boxing and fencing.

His film career took off with a role in the series The Green Hornet (1966–1967), and he gained worldwide fame with the films The Big Boss (1971), Fist of Fury (1972), and Enter the Dragon (1973), which popularized the kung fu genre. Linda Lee describes his charisma, incredible speed, and dedication, as well as his struggle with Hollywood stereotypes.

The book also touches on his tragic death in 1973 from swelling of the brain, caused by an allergic reaction to medication, and the speculation that followed. Linda Lee celebrates Bruce's contribution as a visionary who brought together Eastern and Western cultures, leaving an indelible mark on martial arts and film.
