Overview

¡Ahora disponible en español por primera vez! Con material nuevo y exclusivo, incluidos extractos de las segundas memorias inéditas de Desi Arnaz y comentarios de su hija Lucie Arnaz, llega la edición ampliada de las memorias más vendidas de The New York Times de la leyenda cubanoamericana del espectáculo, pionero de la televisión y estrella de «Amo a Lucy», Desi Arnaz.

Esta edición ampliada de Un libro contiene inclusiones de las segundas memorias de Desi Arnaz, que nunca se publicaron y no se terminaron, un nuevo epílogo de Lucie Arnaz, un prólogo de su nieta Kate Luckinbill y nuevas fotos. El trabajo original de Desi y el material       añadido pintan un retrato amplio de un hombre querido y admirado por la familia y la gente con la que trabajó, a pesar de sus admitidos defectos personales, y a quien Lucille Ball le atribuyó el éxito de «Amo a Lucy» y la innovación en la producción televisiva en su infancia. Esta historia total de una vida y una leyenda completa ahora una de las memorias de Hollywood más fascinantes y reveladoras jamás escritas.

En palabras del propio autor: «Bienvenido a Un Libro, en el que trato de  explicar cómo un muchacho de Cuba encontró la forma de ganarse la vida en Estados Unidos. Todo está aquí: lo bueno, lo malo, lo bonito, lo feo, los golpes de suerte increíbles y los fracasos desgarradores . . . Sabrán lo que Lucy y yo tuvimos que hacer para convencer a la gente de que podíamos interpretar a un matrimonio en «Amo a Lucy». Poco después nacieron Lucie y Desi Jr. y nuestro mundo era el paraíso. La ironía de todo esto fue cómo nuestro éxito, fama y fortuna inimaginables lo convirtieron en un infierno. No fue fácil escribir sobre todo ello, pero como dijo mi hijo: “Sólo hay una forma de hacerlo, papá. Cuéntalo 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 Featuring new material including excerpts from Desi Arnaz’s unpublished second memoir and an epilogue by daughter Lucie Arnaz, here is the revised edition of the bestselling memoir of Cuban American entertainment legend and Love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."
