书籍简介

查理·卓别林是一位无声的喜剧明星，其传奇性的滑稽表演至今仍可辨认，这本传记无比生动地描述了最伟大的电影制作人和喜剧演员之一的生活，并由大卫·罗宾逊作了引言。

小时候，查理·卓别林看到魅力四射的杂耍明星从他家门口经过，感到十分惊奇和鼓舞，从那时起，他就从未失去过成为一名演员的雄心。卓别林作为被全世界崇拜的"小流浪汉 "的电影生涯堪称传奇，但这本坦率的自传展现了他的另一面。卓别林出生于一个戏剧世家，他的父亲死于酗酒，而他的母亲则因无法忍受贫穷而患上了精神错乱症。从伦敦南部贫民窟的贫困童年开始，卓别林在音乐厅的舞台上找到了摆脱困境的机会，随后他在美国幸运地获得了突破，与D.W.格里菲斯和道格拉斯·费尔班克斯一起成立了联艺公司，为保持对其作品的艺术控制而奋斗，经历了一系列失败的婚姻，并在麦卡锡时代因个人丑闻和左翼政治受到迫害后最终流亡好莱坞。

查尔斯·查理·卓别林爵士（1895-1976）出生于伦敦的沃尔沃斯。他著名的角色是"小流浪汉"，是一个普遍认可的标志性角色，曾出现在《寻子遇仙记》（1921年）、《淘金记》（1925年）和《城市之光》（1931年）等影片中。他的其他电影包括《摩登时代》（1936年）和《大独裁者》（1940年），后者是对希特勒和纳粹的讽刺性攻击。

A silent comedy star whose legendary slapstick routines are recognisable to this day, Charles 'Charlie' Chaplin's My Autobiography is an incomparably vivid account of the life of one of the greatest filmmakers and comedians, with an introduction by David Robinson

As a child, Charlie Chaplin was awed and inspired by the sight of glamorous vaudeville stars passing his home, and from then on he never lost his ambition to become an actor. Chaplin's film career as the Little Tramp adored by the whole world is the stuff of legend, but this frank autobiography shows another side. Born into a theatrical family, Chaplin's father died of drink while his mother, unable to bear the poverty, suffered from bouts of insanity. From a childhood of grinding poverty in the south London slums, Chaplin found an escape in his early debut on the music hall stage, followed by his lucky break in America, the founding of United Artists with D.W. Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks, the struggle to maintain artistic control over his work, the string of failed marriages, and his eventual exile from Hollywood after personal scandals and persecution for his left-wing politics during the McCarthy Era.

Sir Charles 'Charlie' Chaplin (1895-1976) was born in Walworth, London. Best known for his work in silent film, his most famous role was The Little Tramp, a universally recognisable and iconic character who appeared in films such as The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925) and City Lights (1931). His other films include Modern Times (1936), a commentary on the Great Depression, and The Great Dictator (1940), a satirical attack on Hitler and the Nazis.
