Charles Chaplin chronicles his remarkable journey from a childhood of poverty and hardship in South London — including a spell in a workhouse and a mother's battle with mental illness — to his meteoric rise as the world's first true cinematic superstar, the creator of the immortal Little Tramp character who made millions laugh and weep in equal measure.\n\nWritten with candour, wit, and surprising emotional depth, this memoir presents an intimate portrait of a self-made genius navigating fame, politics, love, and controversy across eight tumultuous decades. Chaplin's prose is as precisely crafted as his legendary physical comedy — anecdotal, disarmingly honest, and laced with a sharp intelligence that shaped not only his art but his turbulent public life. A landmark document of 20th-century cultural history, My Autobiography stands as essential reading for anyone who has ever wondered what lay behind the bowler hat and the cane — and what drove the man who changed the world's relationship with laughter forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160963784923,"sku":"2026200013841-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e74ff243-46c5-45b5-a2f3-c89ba91d1d0e.png?v=1787188520","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013841-secondhand-my-autobiography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
