  • 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"».

    Now available in Spanish language for the first time! Featuring new material including excerpts from Desi Arnaz’s unpublished second memoir and a revealing epilogue by daughter Lucie Arnaz, here is the revised edition of the New York Times bestselling memoir of Cuban American entertainment legend, TV pioneer, and I Love Lucy star Desi Arnaz.

    This expanded edition of A Book features additions from Desi Arnaz’s uncompleted, never published second memoir, a new closing chapter picking up his life story where A Book leaves off following his divorce from Lucille Ball, a new Epilogue by Lucie Arnaz, and new photos throughout. Desi’s original work and the additions come together to paint a comprehensive portrait of a man beloved and admired 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.’”
