Více o knize
The journey of Al Jolson, an immigrant from Lithuania, unfolds as he rises from a poor, Yiddish-speaking newcomer to America's highest-paid entertainer. His story reflects a cultural transformation in a racially segregated society, as he becomes a symbol of acceptance and change through his groundbreaking film, The Jazz Singer. This work not only highlights the film's significance in American culture but also delves into the complexities of Jolson's life, including his insecurities and controversial use of blackface, against the backdrop of a transformative era in Hollywood.
