Frank Turner Boeken
Frank M. Turner was een vooraanstaand intellectueel historicus die zijn hele carrière bij Yale doorbracht, en een duidelijke stempel drukte als academicus, docent en mentor. Zijn werk verdiepte zich in de diepgaande evolutie van ideeën door de geschiedenis heen, en verrijkte de academische wereld en zijn studenten met nieuwe perspectieven. Turner's nalatenschap ligt in zijn toewijding aan onderwijs en de exploratie van het verleden.

The narrative unfolds Frank Turner's harrowing experiences of abandonment, sexual abuse, and drug addiction, detailing his battle through three near-fatal cocaine overdoses. His journey not only highlights personal recovery but also offers intriguing perspectives on his ties to the Nation of Islam, particularly his relationship with Louis Farrakhan as a former son-in-law. This personal account serves as both a testament to resilience and a candid exploration of the complexities of his life.

*The Sunday Times Bestseller* *Featuring an exclusive new chapter* On 23 September, 2005, at the Joiners Arms in Southampton, Frank Turner played his last gig with his hardcore band, Million Dead. On the laminates that listed the tour dates, the entry for 24 September simply read: 'Get a job.' Deflated, jaded and hungover, Frank returned to his hometown of Winchester without a plan for the future. All he knew was that he wanted to keep playing music. Cut to 13 April 2012, over a thousand shows later (show 1,216 to be precise), and he was headlining a sold-out gig at Wembley Arena with his band The Sleeping Souls. Told through his tour reminiscences, this is the blisteringly honest story of Frank's career from drug-fuelled house parties and the grimy club scene to filling out arenas, fans roaring every word back at him. But more than that, it is an intimate account of what it's like to spend your life constantly on the road, sleeping on floors, invariably jetlagged, all for the love of playing live music.
