Written in Chaplin's own distinctive voice, this memoir chronicles the astonishing journey of a poverty-stricken boy who would become the most recognisable face on the planet — the immortal Little Tramp — reshaping the art of cinema and the very nature of comedy along the way. With remarkable candour, Chaplin details his tumultuous childhood, his mother's devastating mental illness, his rise through the music halls of England, and the dazzling, sometimes brutal world of silent film stardom in early Hollywood.\n\nBeyond the spectacle of fame, My Autobiography presents a richly layered self-portrait of an artist fiercely protective of his creative vision, a man who counted Einstein, Churchill, and Shaw among his confidants, and a public figure whose political convictions ultimately drove him into exile from the country that had made him a legend. Chaplin's prose is as expressive and nuanced as his filmmaking — witty, sentimental, sharp, and achingly human — offering a vivid window into an entire century of cultural upheaval. A testament to resilience, genius, and the enduring power of laughter, this memoir leaves the reader questioning whether any life in the twentieth century was more fully, more brilliantly lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203259605211,"sku":"2026200015671-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/97bdc18f-7473-4dd5-b6ec-09fb08b8e9a8.png?v=1788146669","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015671-secondhand-my-autobiography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
