David Robinson's definitive and monumental biography of Charlie
Chaplin, the greatest icon in the history of cinema, who lived one
of the most dramatic rags to riches stories ever told. Chaplin's
life was marked by extraordinary contrasts: the child of London
slums who became a multimillionaire; the on-screen clown who was a
driven perfectionist behind the camera; the adulated star who
publicly fell from grace after personal and political scandal. This
engrossing and definitive work, written with full access to
Chaplin's archives, tells the whole story of a brilliant, complex
man. David Robinson is a celebrated film critic and historian who
wrote for The Times and the Financial Times for several decades.
His many books include World Cinema, Hollywood in the Twenties and
Buster Keaton. 'A marvellous book . . . unlikely ever to be
surpassed' Spectator 'I cannot imagine how anyone could write a
better book on the great complex subject . . . movingly
entertaining, awesomely thorough and profoundly respectful' Sunday
Telegraph 'One of the great cinema books; a labour of love and a
splendid achievement' Variety 'One of those addictive biographies
in which you start by looking in the index for items that interest
you . . . and as dawn breaks you're reading the book from cover to
cover' Financial Times
