(+) Man in White (1986 Cash), novel

Man in White (1986) is a novel by Johnny Cash.

Abstract

A fictionalized version of the life of the apostle Paul from his early opposition to Christianity to his conversion and missionary efforts by famous American singer and songwriter.

"Passionate. Controversial. Fiery. Destructive. Redeemed. Two legendary men. Two thousand years apart-yet remarkably similar. Both struggled with a "thorn in the flesh." And both had powerful visions from God. Paul's encounter with the Man in White knocked him to the ground and struck him blind. It also turned him into one of the most influential men in history. Johnny Cash's vision was of another man entirely-his recently deceased father-a vision that helped spark his imagination to write this historical novel about the amazing life of the intriguing figure with whom Cash identified so deeply-the Apostle Paul. See Paul as you've never seen him before--through the creative imagination of one of the greatest singer-songwriters America has ever known. Subsequently see Johnny Cash, the man in Black, as you've never seen him before--as a passionist novelist consumed with the Man In White."--Publisher description.

"Finora inedito, "L'uomo in bianco" è l'unico romanzo di Johnny Cash. Nel raccontare la parabola di Paolo di Tarso - gli anni prima di conoscere il cristianesimo, la conversione, la predicazione e la morte - Cash tratteggia anche la sua stessa traiettoria esistenziale: entrambi sono stati folgorati lungo il cammino dalla visione di Dio e ne sono stati salvati, dopo una vita di tormenti e difficoltà."--Publisher description
