Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This biography uncovers the man behind the character, looking at his complicated life dominated by personal and professional satisfaction. Why was he so scared of ending up in poverty, why were his relationships with women often so destructive, and what of his complex relations with his brothers? Groucho Marx, like Stefan Kanfer's biography, consists of much more than just throwaway jokes. Beneath the most famous Marx Brother's one-liners and carefree attitude was a life dominated by deep sadness, professional dissatisfaction and personal turmoil. Now, for the first time, one of the most influential and revered comedians of the 20th century is revealed in all his fascinating complexity. Beginning with the Marx Brothers' family heritage and their youth in turn-of-the-century New York, we see Julius and his brothers Adolph and Leonard become Groucho, Harpo and Chico. We go backstage as they develop their routines in Vaudeville, on Broadway and, finally, in Hollywood. Groucho's story unfolds against the backdrop of the changing world around him and his star-studded milieu, which includes other classic comic figures such as Charles Chaplin, and W.C. Fields, as well as great names like George Gershwin and T.S. Eliot. Kanfer delves into Groucho's complicated relationships with the people around him - his failed marriages, his destructive behaviour with his children, and his clashes with the self-indulgent Chico. The Brothers become the biggest movie stars in the world - a success bitterly followed by slow decline as age, years of profligacy and ego all catch up with them. Finally, we witness Groucho's extraordinary resurrection as he comes back from the career-dead to host the television quiz show "You Bet Your Life" and cements his legendary status in popular culture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. London. Allen Lane/Penguin. 2000. First Edition/First Printing (1 in number line on copyright page). Hard Cover. Black boards with gilt titles to spine. Photographic dust wrapper. Book and jacket are both fine. Many photographic plates in the text. Since his death in 1977, no major biography of Groucho Marx, the most influential comedian of his generation, has been written. None of the books published during his lifetime told the whole story, or truly reflected the Marxian spirit. Now Kanfer's biography uncovers the man behind the much-loved character, looking at his complicated life dominated by personal and professional disatisfaction. Why was he so scared of ending up in poverty, why were his relationships with women often so cruel and destructive and what of his complex relations with his brothers? This book raises the curtain on this icon of twentieth-century cynicism and irreverence with compelling authority, affection and honesty.
