KORTE INHOUD
The Little Tramp image remains in constant use the world over, from America to Japan, as a symbol of the clash between man and machine, the confrontation with dictatorship and all the anachronistic grace of pantomime. This book, however, seeks to go beyond the conventional portrait by drawing on the Chaplin family archives and their wealth of largely unknown documentation.
There exists a mass of subsidiary material relating to Chaplin's films and life, and by tying this in with extracts on video we can actually show the artist at work. Where did the Little Tramp character come from? What kind of parts did he mostly play? What comedy situations recur from film to film? Beginning with the birth of the Little Tramp, the book shows then Chaplin as film director. While the Little Tramp is without doubt the 20th century's best-loved single character, it should not be forgotten that he was also an emblematic figure for the 1920s avant-garde. The press coverage of the time points up this dual success, as does the work...
