Produktbeschreibung

"Another book about Marlon Brando?

There are so many around!" I can almost hear you saying...

What makes this book different from all others is the fact that for the first time Marlon is described the way he would have appreciated most.

Was he really the most talented actor in Hollywood? Who cares, least of all Marlon himself.

Was he really the wild, crazy, rebellious character everybody depicts? Maybe but there were justifications for that explosive personality and bullish attitude.

The border between genius and madness is a very fine one.

This book, presented as a fiction novel, is a psychological portrait of a man never afraid to face the truth, to take on the bad guy, to help and comfort the weakest and the most vulnerable in society, anybody in need. Still this is also the man who couldn't understand himself, couldn't find a purpose for his life.

Analysing Marlon's troubles is like peeping through a clear glass window into one of the most interesting, intelligent, gifted men Hollywood has ever known. Totally dissatisfied with himself and the way he was conducting his life, he couldn't find a way to change, to make amends. Struggling to forgive himself, he couldn't come to terms with forgiveness towards those who had inflicted pain on him. Although accepting that he should know better, he was repeating the same mistakes over and over. Marlon's tragedy was that, as anybody else, he couldn't change Destiny. He had to perform the Marlon Brando character up to the end and so he did. Still his aim had always been to get out of that character and be somebody else. Anybody with a more constructive way of life would have suited him fine.

All the wealth, success and money that, against his aspirations, had become the reason for his activity couldn't satisfy his profound need for intellectual and emotional gratification.

The revelation in this book of the secret love between Marlon and Marlene Parker opens the gate to a flood of unforeseen emotions. The turmoil inside the heart of some human beings can be quite moving. Marlon was the first to acknowledge the strength of his impulses, passions and the inevitable troubles coming his way that he seemed unable to avoid or control. Was he a strong character? He had a strong hold on his most intimate convictions, at the same time he would look down at himself as a rascal and total stranger.

Deep inside was he a womaniser? No. He was desperately trying to reach love, still he felt all his life that love was always and inevitably eluding him.

"All I ever wanted from Life was to be cared for, to be loved..." he said once.

Why couldn't he find what he wanted above anything else?

Complicated persons are difficult to handle and to love. They are too demanding. Very rarely can ordinary people understand them. It takes an extraordinary person to see all the faults hidden in another human being and still totally commit himself to love and care for him...

This is a book written to open the hearts of the reader to the feelings of love, passions of the heart, compassion, empathy that, if nurtured, can be found in each one of us; still it manages to be funny and entertaining.

Take it with you when travelling, resting or looking for words that can comfort you when faced with the difficulties of life. You will feel that you are not alone.

After reading this book, I hope you will also feel you are closer to humanity. You will realise that the world is filled with imperfect people, still so full of good intentions! Don't judge them too harshly because in each one of them there is something of you.
