From Peepshow to Palace: The Birth of American Film de David Robinson
This is an overview of pre-history of the cinema and the first twenty years, 1893-1913, of the American film industry. It doesn't go too deep, but is reasonably complete. Highly recommended.
This book is a must-read if you have an interest in Charlie Chaplin's life and extensive experiences at the birth of American Cinema. Robinson uses a multitude of sources to help give witness to the actor from many viewpoints and addresses the various inconsistencies found in Chaplin's own autobiography. For those interested in comparing the two, I recommend reading "My Autobiography" first.
"His Life and Art" is clearly written and includes many details about Chaplin's life, work habits, and influence on the film industry and the people around him. Other treats are sections of photos from his private and professional life as well as images of childhood photos and publicity flyers.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it as essential to any person interested in learning about Charlie Chaplin.… (mais)
