Item description from seller

Paperback. Ahora disponible en espanol por primera vez! Con material nuevo y exclusivo, incluidos extractos de las segundas memorias ineditas de Desi Arnaz y comentarios de su hija Lucie Arnaz, llega la edicion ampliada de las memorias mas vendidas de The New York Times de la leyenda cubanoamericana del espectaculo, pionero de la television y estrella de Amo a Lucy, Desi Arnaz. Esta edicion ampliada de Un libro contiene inclusiones de las segundas memorias de Desi Arnaz, que nunca se publicaron y no se terminaron, un nuevo epilogo de Lucie Arnaz, un prologo de su nieta Kate Luckinbill y nuevas fotos. El trabajo original de Desi y el material anadido pintan un retrato amplio de un hombre querido y admirado por la familia y la gente con la que trabajo, a pesar de sus admitidos defectos personales, y a quien Lucille Ball le atribuyo el exito de Amo a Lucy y la innovacion en la produccion televisiva en su infancia. Esta historia total de una vida y una leyenda completa ahora una de las memorias de Hollywood mas fascinantes y reveladoras jamas escritas. En palabras del propio autor: Bienvenido a Un Libro, en el que trato de explicar como un muchacho de Cuba encontro la forma de ganarse la vida en Estados Unidos. Todo esta aqui lo bueno, lo malo, lo bonito, lo feo, los golpes de suerte increibles y los fracasos desgarradores . . . Sabran lo que Lucy y yo tuvimos que hacer para convencer a la gente de que podiamos interpretar a un matrimonio en Amo a Lucy. Poco despues nacieron Lucie y Desi Jr. y nuestro mundo era el paraiso. La ironia de todo esto fue como nuestro exito, fama y fortuna inimaginables lo convirtieron en un infierno. No fue facil escribir sobre todo ello, pero como dijo mi hijo: "Solo hay una forma de hacerlo, papa. Cuentalo tal como fue". Available in Spanish language for the first time! Featuring new material including excerpts from Desi Arnaz's unpublished second memoir and an epilogue by daughter Lucie Arnaz, here is the revised edition of the bestselling memoir of Cuban American entertainment legend and Love Lucy star Desi Arnaz. The book features additions from Arnaz's uncompleted, never published second memoir, a new Epilogue by Lucie Arnaz, and refreshed photos throughout. Desi's original work and the new text come together to paint a comprehensive portrait of a man beloved by family and people he worked with despite admitted personal failings, and to whom Lucy herself gave credit for the success of I Love Lucy and pioneering television production in its infancy. This full story of a life and legend now completes one of the most fascinating and revelatory Hollywood memoirs ever written. In the author's own words: "Welcome to A Book, in which I try to explain how a kid from Cuba found a way to make a living in the United States. It's all here--the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, the unbelievably lucky breaks, and the heartbreaking failures. . . . You will learn what Lucy and I had to do to convince people we could play husband and wife in I Love Lucy. Shortly afterward Lucie and Desi Jr. were born and our world was paradise. The irony of it all is how our undreamed-of success, fame, and fortune turned it into hell. It wasn't easy to write about all of it, but as my son said, "There's only one way to do it, Dad. Tell it like it was." Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
