Dutch 'Elvis' book

Dennis van Tiel, author for the Dutch Almost in Elvis fan club published a new Dutch fictional book entitled 'Jaarringen van een Koning'. 

Synopsis: On 280 pages the book tells the story of adventurers, inventors, athletes, politicians, artists and even a dog. The story begins over the Pacific in 1935 and ends with the Wow! Signal in 1977. This era is also known as the reign of the king of rock 'n' roll, Elvis Aaron Presley. 

The singer is also followed from birth to his presumed death, from the possibility of destroying ourselves by pressing a button, the development of youth cultures, the emancipation of minorities to making visible the oldest light in our universe, the king was there.
