Houdini: The Handcuff King de Jason Lutes

Houdini: The Handcuff King: The Center for Cartoon Studies Presents

Autor Jason Lutes Ilustrat de Nick Bertozzi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 sep 2019 – vârsta de la 10 până la 14 ani
"I have escaped out of more handcuffs, manacles, and leg shackles than any other human being living."

Harry Houdini mesmerized a generation of Americans when he was alive, and continues to do so over ninety years since his death. This is a snapshot of Houdini's life, centering on one of his most famous feats. As Houdini prepares for a death-defying leap into the icy Charles River in Boston, biographer Jason Lutes and artist Nick Bertozzi reveal Houdini's life and influence: from the anti-Semitism Houdini fought all his life, to the adulation of the American public; from his hounding by the press, to his loving relationship with his wife Bess; from his egoism to his insecurity; from his public persona--to the secret behind his most amazing trick! And it's all in graphic form, so it's fresh, original, and unlike anything previously published about this most fascinating of American showmen.

PRAISE FOR SATCHEL PAIGE: STRIKING OUT JIM CROW

PRAISE FOR SATCHEL PAIGE: STRIKING OUT JIM CROW

"Raw and memorable."—Chicago Tribune
PRAISE FOR SATCHEL PAIGE: STRIKING OUT JIM CROW
