O knihe
Set in the turmoil of social change and political unrest of Australia during the 1960s, 'The Songs of Jesse Adams' traces the meteoric rise of a boy from the bush - a farmer's son who breaks away to follow his heart, his dreams and his love of music. But, as Jesse travels with his band and the crowds gather, it becomes clear that something else is afoot. This rock singer captivates and transforms the host of fans who hear his songs and encounter his truth.
Lives are changed in unexpected ways and the enigmatic Jesse becomes a symbol of hope and freedom for those on society's edge. But not all will celebrate the rising tide of influence of this charismatic figure whose words and actions challenge those in power - the media, the politicians, the church. In one tumultuous week this clash of ideals comes to a head - with profound consequences.
Awash in all the protest and collapse of conservative Australia, the colour and madness that was the sixties, 'The Songs of Jesse Adams' is a tale of conflict, betrayal and tragedy, but ultimately the triumph of love.
