內容簡介

內容簡介 【出道30年完整回顧】海豚音天后：瑪麗亞‧凱莉回憶錄你絕對聽過經典的聖誕名曲〈All I Want For Christmas Is You〉，或許震懾於展現精湛海豚音的〈Emotions〉，也曾隨著脫稿玩家女主角的愛歌〈Fantasy〉扭動身體。這次，瑪麗亞‧凱莉要你聽她講述自己的真實人生。 ▌黑白混血X失能家庭X窒息婚姻 ▌三歲那年父母離婚，黑白混血的雙重歧視從四歲開始形影不離。哥哥有暴力傾向，十二歲那年她的姊姊想把她賣給皮條客。自我認同的困惑、童年暴力陰影的影響在她的充滿才華的生命中埋下各種障礙，她花了數十年的時間去突破，得到成就卻不懂什麼是被愛。被家人當作戴著假髮的提款機、被傾全力支持自己事業的前夫嚴密控制，以為一切都是愛的代價。 ▌全能創作X演歌雙棲X找回自我 ▌音樂是瑪麗亞混亂生命的出口。自小就嶄露天賦的她將一切盼望與心情都寫進歌裡，5座葛萊美獎、19首冠軍單曲、15項告示牌音樂獎都是她為生命做的記號。然而在事業高峰的瑪麗亞也成為八卦媒體狩獵的對象，演員路失利後的各種抹黑與家人放話都令她悲痛欲絕，但她始終堅定自己的目標，不向命運低頭。在低谷過後，她將過往的經歷傾注於《珍愛人生》裡的社工、《白宮第一管家》裡的樸素母親，細膩的演技再度獲得認同。如今，出道逾三十年的瑪麗亞循著信仰和寬容、歌迷的陪伴始終翩翩飛舞，她決定親口說出自己的故事，帶著她的記憶、不幸、掙扎與創作告訴所有人她到底是誰。這是一本透過梳理回憶進行治療、回顧自己創傷的痊癒之書；更是一本關於毛毛蟲堅定目標、不畏命運打擊的花蝴蝶蛻變記。本書特色內文生動描述了充滿韌性與顛簸的生命歷程，每一章引言的歌曲都呼應了瑪麗亞各種時期，歌詞裡藏著瑪麗亞當時的心情與故事，彷彿是電影彩蛋般的小祕密。「凱莉的全面勝利……這本書十分吸引人，她被渲染成一種精神力量，就如同音樂神童一般——堅忍不拔、有自知之明而且非常有趣，並以她那種高貴的方式呈現。」——《紐約時報》「精闢、有趣和令人印象深刻的精彩描述。」——《紐約客》雜誌「這本書，是流行樂壇的經典之作。」——《滾石》雜誌「我們終於見到了天后形象背後真實的面貌……現在，透過她出版的回憶錄，瑪麗亞．凱莉終於自由了！她為那些渴望聽到其真實故事的人提供了一把鑰匙，讓他們更能了解她的故事。經過了這麼多年，她似乎終於成為了她一直想成為的花蝴蝶。」——《O》雜誌「這是一本遭誤解的巨星所寫下的迷人回憶錄，是這個世代數一數二特立獨行、飽受誤解且迷人的藝術家精心拼湊而成的自畫像。」——《衛報》「令人愛不釋手，這是個精采有趣的故事，講述了一名將她生活中的不和諧音調譜成為動人樂章的傳奇女性。」——《時代》雜誌本中文書介出自《花蝴蝶回憶錄: 瑪麗亞．凱莉的真情告白》堡壘文化出版The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey.It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments-the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams-that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it's been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else's lens, largely satisfying someone else's assignment to define me.This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.Love,Mariah"
