Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin - Peter Ackroyd “Chaplin's rise makes an enthralling story, and it’s one perfectly suited to Peter Ackroyd’s prodigious and idiosyncratic talents ... Ackroyd acknowledges Chaplin’s many human failings, while at the same time giving us a vivid sense of what made the man a genius.”
—The Telegraph

“[A] fine biography ... The luxury of a short book about a vast life cannot be overestimated.”
—Financial Times

Charlie Chaplin's only novel to be released

Charlie Chaplin's only novel to be released

 

 

A virtually unknown novel by Charlie Chaplin -- the only book the silent film comic ever wrote -- is being made public for the first time.

 

 

"Footlights", which will be unveiled in London later Tuesday, was written by Chaplin in 1948 and later transformed into his film "Limelight", in which a washed-out clown saves a dancer from suicide.

 

The book is being published in English by the Cineteca di Bologna, an Italian film restoration institute which has been working with Chaplin biographer David Robinson on reconstructing drafts found in the Chaplin archives.

Sir Charlie: Chaplin, the Funniest Man in the World
Sir Charlie: Chaplin, the Funniest Man in the World - Sid Fleischman The last book by the late, great Sid Fleischman and a superb swan song it is. I will miss Sid's lively, entertaining biographies.
