______________________________________________
From Prince himself comes the brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time-featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death.
Prince was a musical genius, one of the most talented, beloved, accomplished, popular, and acclaimed musicians in pop history. But he wasn't only a musician-he was also a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of his early records to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of Paisley Park. But his greatest creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, the greatest pop star of his era.
The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince-a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is composed of the memoir he was writing before his tragic death, pages that brings us into Prince's childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us into Prince's early years as a musician, before his first album released, through a scrapbook of Prince's writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince's evolution through candid images that take us up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book's fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain-the final stage in Prince's self-creation, as he retells the autobiography we've seen in the first three parts as a heroic journey.
The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring's riveting and moving introduction about his short but profound collaboration with Prince in his final days-a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he'd so carefully cultivated-and annotations that provide context to each of the book's images.
This work is not just a tribute to Prince, but an original and energizing literary work, full of Prince's ideas and vision, his voice and image, his undying gift to the world.

Dieses Buch tut weh. Weil es nicht fertig wurde. Und weil es so, wie es jetzt erscheint, nur den Verlust noch größer macht, ganz gleich, wie gut es auch geworden ist. Aber Prince ist am 21. April 2016 an einer Schmerzmittelüberdosis gestorben, mit nur 57 Jahren. Seit es Popmusik gibt, hat die Welt nur eine Handvoll anderer Leute erlebt, die so singen, schreiben, spielen konnten wie er. Prince starb nur kurze Zeit, nachdem er die Arbeit an seiner Autobiographie begonnen hatte, die jetzt also als Fragment erscheint: "The Beautiful Ones", eine Sammlung mehr oder weniger fertiger Texte, transkribiert oder als Faksimile seiner eigenen melodiösen Handschrift. Dazu kommen Fotos, viele aus den ganz frühen Jahren in Minneapolis, dann das Exposé zu einem Film, aus dem "Purple Rain" wurde, das Storyboard zum Video von "Kiss" - lauter Zeugnisse seiner Manierismen: (Zum Beispiel, dass er immer "U" für "you" schrieb und für "I" ein Auge malte; die deutsche Übersetzung hält sich daran, was das Lesen nicht leichter macht, aber was tut man nicht alles für Nachrichten von Prince.) Dieser Wunsch, noch das Letzte dem eigenen Style und Begehren zu unterwerfen, und wenn es nur Buchstaben sind: Das scheint Prince gewesen zu sein. "Für mich bricht die Musik, die ich mache, keine Gesetze", hat er seinem Co-Autor Dan Piepenbring gesagt, der jetzt das nachgelassene Material kommentiert hat. "Ich schreibe in Harmonie." Und die Gesetze dafür selbst.
