The long-lost autobiography of Georges Méliès

Georges Méliès

4.2/5 ( ratings)

IN 1896, GEORGES MÉLIÈS WAS THE MAN WHO FIRST BROUGHT MAGIC TO CINEMA.

Writer, director, actor, magician, he was the first great storyteller of the moving image and the pioneer of special effects.

In 1937, a year before he died, he hand-wrote his autobiography in a 32-page document. He told the decades-long story of his central role in the creation of cinema and the subsequent fall which left him bankrupt and forgotten.

This is a first-hand account of the birth of cinema from its greatest innovator, an illuminating and eccentric testimony which has been out-of-print for many decades and never previously available in English.

Language: English
