Groucho Marx Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Groucho Marx führte ein unkonventionelles Leben und verfasste gleich zwei Autobiografien, die in diesem Band erstmals zusammengefasst sind. Er räumt mit gängigen Vorurteilen auf, etwa der Behauptung, er sei in einer Blockhütte geboren worden. Tatsächlich kam er als Sohn eines elsässischen Vaters und einer ostfriesischen Mutter in einem New Yorker Deutschenviertel zur Welt. In seinen Erinnerungen gibt er freizügig Auskunft über seinen Werdegang und legt großen Wert auf die Unterhaltung seiner Leser, während die chronologische Ordnung für ihn weniger bedeutend ist. Trotz seiner Eskapaden zeigt er sich selbstkritisch und hat eine klare Haltung: „Ich möchte keinem Club angehören, der mich als Mitglied akzeptiert“ und „Ich habe eiserne Prinzipien – und wenn sie Ihnen nicht gefallen, habe ich auch noch andere.“ Zudem äußert er tiefgründige Gedanken zur Geschlechterfrage: „Ein Mann ist so alt wie die Frau, die er fühlt.“ In Bezug auf Frauen war Groucho dreimal verheiratet und dreimal geschieden, was ihn zu dem Schluss brachte: „Die Ehe ist eine wunderbare Institution, aber wer möchte schon in einer Institution leben?“

For everyone who still can't get enough of this legendary wit (and excellent writer), here is an extraordinary collection of almost two hundred letters by Groucho Marx. Following a close filial relationship as it unfolds week by week, year by year, these letters move through three decades of from the vagaries of Groucho's career in film, radio, and television, through two divorces and two remarriages, to Miriam's own often tumultuous young adulthood. In his own inimitable fashion, Groucho advises his daughter about her schoolwork, writing, career, growing up, and growing old. He also discusses theater, film, books, and politics with a candor that will surprise and delight even his most knowledgeable fans. Accompanied by photographs from Miriam's personal albums, Love, Groucho reveals a man deeply concerned with his family, a sometimes firm, always loving father who never hesitated to say exactly what he thought.

Groucho Marx may be the funniest man who ever lived. Here in one volume are the classics of Marxian mayhem: excerpts from the scripts of the immortal movies, passages from his books, his articles for magazines ranging from The New Yorker to the Saturday Evening Post , the choicest ad-libs and quips from his long-running game show, You Bet Your Life , and selected letters, including his classic correspondence with T. S. Eliot. It's all here-the finest and funniest work by this century's most influential comedian, that man of whom Woody Allen said, "He is simply unique in the same way Picasso and Stravinsky are, and I believe his outrageous, unsentimental disregard for order will be equally funny a thousand years from now. In addition to all this, he makes me laugh." In the words of Groucho Marx: One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he go in my pajamas I don't know. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

In Memoirs of a Mangy Lover Groucho turns his manic eyebrows and spirited cigar to the ever-perplexing affairs of the heart while fully addressing the Marxian passion for poker. This wacky, eclectic book includes Groucho's improbable tales of true romance; his irreverent observations on talent, luck, and what this country really needs; the battles with pigeons and hotel detectives; an account of a blind date who knew a comedy when she saw it (even if it was Death of a Salesman); the "reason" for Harpo's silence; Groucho's unnatural history of love, which traces its unruly evolution from amoeba to alimony; his view on polygamy (and how to attain it); the stunning parallels between Groucho and Lawrence of Arabia; and, of course, plenty of blondes, brunettes, and redheads. So why buy a duck, when instead you can own the Memoirs of a Mangy Lover?

Photographs, letters, and other memorabilia are combined with interviews with Groucho and comments by personalities who have been associated with the celebrated Marx Brothers

Reissued for the thirtieth anniversary of Groucho Marx's death, this collection returns to fans a classic retrospective of the funny man's best letters with the biggest personalities of his day.

Fundidos en uno solo, Groucho y su yo escribieron este libro… indescriptible. Y es que aunque uno y otro sean de naturaleza muy similar, también son, paradójicamente, muy distintos. En tanto que Groucho, insumiso, entrometido, criticón e insolente mujeriego, dinamita la sociedad y siembra el desconcierto, el yo-de-Groucho sólo piensa en enriquecerse y medrar en esa misma sociedad. Pero lo cierto es que los dos gozan por igual del don privilegiado de hacernos morir de risa. Las hilarantes memorias de uno de los cómicos más famosos de todos los tiempos.
