Marlon Brando ha sido considerado como el mejor actor del siglo XX, el actor por antonomasia. Un ser excéntrico y extraño, pero también, genial y extremadamente humano. En definitiva, la expresión máxima de lo que entendemos como un espíritu libre, constituido en auténtico mito del cine. Sin duda, una obra única y especial, por tratarse de un documento de primera mano en el que Marlon Brando se expresa de manera directa y sin tapujos acerca de un repertorio inacabable de temas y cuestiones de plena actualidad.

Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a sevendaysaweek job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.This memoir is the product of a profound journey of selfknowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind.

Un libro valiente e inspirador donde se conjugan el éxito, la felicidad interior y la conexión humana. Will narra la historia de una de las trayectorias más extraordinarias de la música y el cine.Will Smith, un niño inseguro criado en el tenso Oeste de Filadelfia, se convirtio primero en una de las mayores estrellas del rap de su era y luego en una de las mayores estrellas de Hollywood de todos los tiempos, con una sucesion de exitos de taquilla que muy probablemente no se interrumpira nunca. Es una historia epica de transformacion interior y de triunfo exterior; una historia que Will narra extraordinariamente bien. Y, sin embargo, eso es solo la mitad de la historia. Will Smith pensaba, y con razon, que habia ganado la loteria de la vida: no era solo que su propio exito no tuviera parangon, sino que toda su familia, al completo, se hallaba en el pinaculo del mundo del entretenimiento. Sin embargo, ellos no lo veian asi: se sentian como los protagonistas del circo de Will, un trabajo que les ocupaba los siete dias de la semana y que no habian solicitado. Escrita con la ayuda de Mark Manson, el autor del exitoso El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mierda, del que se han vendido millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo, Will es la historia de una persona que ha conseguido tomar las riendas de sus emociones y esta escrita para que todo el que la lea pueda hacer lo mismo. La combinacion de una sabiduria genuina y de valor universal y de una historia vital que es tan entretenida que llega a ser casi increible, ubica a Will en una categoria propia, como a su autor.
