Krátky popis
This is the iconic Josephine Baker in her own words. Funny, candid
and unconventional: the wildly famous but elusive Josephine Baker
tells her own story in this enchanting memoir. Baker took Paris by
storm in the 1920s, dazzling audiences with her humour, beauty and
effervescence on stage.She became an icon. Hemingway, Cocteau and
Picasso admired her, Shirley Bassey adored her. It was said she
strolled the streets of Paris with her pet cheetah who wore a
diamond collar.Later, as one of the most recognisable women in the
world, she became a spy for the French resistance, her celebrity
working as her cover. She was awarded the Légion d’honneur for
military service. After the war she became increasingly interested
in civil rights, and in 1963 she spoke at the March on Washington
alongside Martin Luther King.All this from a girl of mixed
heritage, born in Missouri to a poor mother and a father she did
not know. Formed from a series of conversations with the French
journalist Marcel Sauvage over a period of more than twenty years,
and now translated into English for the first time, this gorgeous
book offers an insight into one of the most beguiling figures of
the twentieth century. ‘The most sensational woman anyone ever saw’
