subject: The Official Biography Of Jobs Will Be Available [print this page] The only authorized biography of Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs will be available in the world. The Chinese version will be on the bookstore shelves of 20 major cities in the country. The book originally planed to be published in the March of the next year. But on October 5, Steve Jobs died suddenly. The U.S. publisher Simon & Schuster decided to advance to issue it.
Steve Jobs's biography has 41 chapters and the Chinese version has 560 pages. The simplified Chinese version was released in three versions: paperback edition, hardcover edition and commemorative edition. The author Walter Isaacson is a famous American biographer. He is the author of "Einstein" and "The Franklin Biography" and "Kissinger Biography". He also served as the chairman of CNN and the compile of "Times".
Isaacson recalled that his first contact with Steve Jobs is in 2003. When Steve Jobs was just detected cancer, he thought that time is short. But Isakson who was unaware of the truth mistakenly thought that Steve Jobs would like to glorify himself. So he politely declined.
In 2009, Jobs had liver transplant. His wife, Lao Lunna called Isaacson and asked Isaacson to start writing this biography. For this book, Isaacson had face communication with Jobs for 40 times. In the last days of the life of Steve Jobs, in addition to doctors and his family, Isakson is one of the few people that he saw.
Steve Jobs told Isaacson that he asked him to write the biography is to restore a true self. Isaacson contacted and interviewed Steve Jobs's 100 relatives, friends and people of the industry in two years, including even the hostile enemy. While some of these evaluations make Steve Jobs mad, but he never interfered Isaacson's writing, nor read the full text before publication.
After the death of Steve Jobs, Isaacson specifically added some information about Steve Jobs's description in the final moments of life, including the meeting with Microsoft's CEO Bill Gates and the younger generation, such as Google's CEO Larry Page and the partying with the family.
