Book excerpt: The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom | Summary & Analysis Preview: The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom is a novel about the fictional musician Frankie Presto and his amazing journey through music and life. Frankie’s life story is told from the perspective of music, a fictional narrator. This is fitting, given that Frankie was one of the world’s greatest guitarists. The story, however, begins at its end: Frankie has died during a music festival. During a performance, his body levitates and then drops to the stage. The novel opens at Frankie’s funeral, where music-industry figures—including nonfictional musicians such as Lyle Lovett and Ingrid Michaelson—have gathered to pay their respects and share their thoughts about the deceased guitarist. Music, the narrator, uses the opportunity of the funeral to reflect on Frankie’s life… PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.

Book excerpt: Mitch Albom creates his most unforgettable fictional character—Frankie Presto, the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth—in this magical novel about the bands we join in life and the power of talent to change our lives. An epic story of the greatest guitar player to ever live, and the six lives he changed with his magical blue strings. In Albom’s most sweeping novel yet, the voice of Music narrates the tale of its most beloved disciple, young Frankie Presto, a war orphan raised by a blind music teacher in a small Spanish town. At nine years old, Frankie is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six precious strings. But Frankie’s talent is touched by the gods, and his amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the 20th century, from classical to jazz to rock and roll, with his stunning talent affecting numerous stars along the way, including Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Carole King, Wynton Marsalis and even KISS. Frankie becomes a pop star himself. He makes records. He is adored. But his gift is also his burden, as he realizes, through his music, he can actually affect people’s futures—with one string turning blue whenever a life is altered. At the height of his popularity, Frankie Presto vanishes. His legend grows. Only decades later, does he reappear—just before his spectacular death—to change one last life. With its Forest Gump-like romp through the music world, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is a classic in the making. A lifelong musician himself, Mitch Albom delivers a remarkable novel, infused with the message that “everyone joins a band in this life” and those connections change us all.

Jika tidak, mengapa Tuhan memberimu jantung yang berdenyut? Melalui kecintaannya pada musik, Mitch Albom menyusun novel indah tentang pengaruh bakat dalam mengubah hidup manusia. Inilah kisah epik tentang Frankie Presto––gitaris paling hebat yang pernah ada––dan enam kehidupan yang diubah melalui enam dawai biru gitarnya. Frankie lahir di gereja yang terbakar, bayi yatim-piatu yang dididik oleh seorang guru musik di kota kecil di Spanyol. Perang menghancurkan hidupnya, dan pada usia sembilan tahun dia diselundupkan ke Amerika di dalam perahu. Harta Frankie satu-satunya adalah gitar tua dan enam dawai berharga. Frankie merambahi khasanah musik tahun 1940, 1950, dan 1960-an dengan bakatnya yang luar biasa sebagai gitaris dan penyanyi yang memengaruhi bintang-bintang pada zaman itu, (Duke Ellington, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley), sampai akhirnya dia pun menjadi bintang tenar. Namun bakat luar biasa ini juga menjadi beban ketika Frankie menyadari petikan gitarnya, musiknya, dapat memengaruhi kehidupan orang-orang lain. Pada puncak ketenarannya, dia membuat satu kesalahan, dan merasa bersalah. Dia menghilang. Legendanya berkembang. Berpuluh tahun kemudian, setelah hatinya pulih, dia muncul kembali untuk mengubah satu kehidupan terakhir. Dalam buku ini, Musik menjadi sang Narator, dan melalui tutur katanya kita diajak melongok ke dalam banyak kehidupan yang diubah oleh sang gitaris yang dawai-dawainya sanggup menyentuh jiwa musik di dalam diri kita semua.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.
