Acerca deste libro electrónico
Daphne du Maurier portrays her father, actor Gerald du Maurier, as a charismatic yet complex man whose theatrical brilliance and emotional contradictions shaped both his career and his family life.
Sir Gerald du Maurier was the preeminent actor-manager of his day, knighted in 1922 for his services to the theater. Published within six months of her father's death, Daphne du Maurier's frank portrait was considered shocking by many of his admirers, but it was a huge success, winning her critical acclaim and launching her career.
Here, Daphne captures the spirit and charm of the charismatic actor who played the original Captain Hook, amusingly recounting his eccentricities, his humor, as well as his darker side.
