Mon, 24 Oct 2011 08:30:01 +0200 (Reuters) - A man holds a copy of the authorized biography titled "Steve Jobs", about the co-founder of Apple Inc, near copies of the book officially translated into Chinese at a bookstore in Shanghai October 24, 2011. The book, written by biographer Walter Isaacson, emerged from scores of interviews with Jobs.
It is expected to paint an unprecedented, no-holds-barred portrait of a man who famously guarded his privacy fiercely but whose death ignited a global outpouring of grief and tribute. Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died early this month at the age of 56, after a long battle with cancer and other health issues.
