José Carreras

An Autobiography

This is one of the most astonishing and heart-warming stories that spans the worlds of music, science, and superstardom. Born in Barcelona in 1946, tenor JOSÉ CARRERAS is a magnificent vocal poet and one of the greatest voices of our times. He is also an outstanding human being. His idealism and artistry, as well as courage in overcoming a mortal illness and its debilitating treatment, captured popular imagination beyond the scope of the big talent industry that is opera. He is so well loved that he is becoming an international folk hero and his book is popular in Europe and Asia.

His story is intense yet easy reading, for he tells it as he sings: without guile, directly, openly, with honesty, dignity and deep feeling, resisting every opportunity to sentimentalize. A position of a star whose unassuming attitude earned him the nickname of anti-divo. "This book doesn't so much explain my life as it reflects my thoughts, feelings, and states of mind and spirit," says author CARRERAS.

THE JOSÉ CARRERAS SOCIETY OF AMERICA through its founder Ivonne Nagle worked on the project to launch the English language edition of Mr. Carreras' autobiography. This publication, beautifully presented, contains text and visual information in black and white and color on our honoree. For ordering information, contact:
