AMERICAN ROSE(ISBN=9781400066919) 英文原版 pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　With the critically acclaimed Sin in the Second City,

bestselling author Karen Abbott “pioneered sizzle history” (USA

Today). Now she returns with the gripping and expansive story of

America’s coming-of-age—told through the extraordinary life of

Gypsy Rose Lee and the world she survived and conquered.

America in the Roaring Twenties. Vaudeville was king. Talking

pictures were only a distant flicker. Speakeasies beckoned beyond

dimly lit doorways; money flowed fast and free. But then, almost

overnight, the Great Depression leveled everything. When the dust

settled, Americans were primed for a star who could distract them

from grim reality and excite them in new, unexpected ways. Enter

Gypsy Rose Lee, a strutting, bawdy, erudite stripper who possessed

a preternatural gift for delivering exactly what America

needed.

With her superb narrative skills and eye for compelling detail,

Karen Abbott brings to vivid life an era of ambition, glamour,

struggle, and survival. Using exclusive interviews and

never-before-published material, she vividly delves into Gypsy’s

world, including her intensely dramatic triangle relationship with

her sister, actress June Havoc, and their formidable mother, Rose,

a petite but ferocious woman who seduced men and women alike and

literally killed to get her daughters on the stage.

American Rose chronicles their story, as well as the story of the

four scrappy and savvy showbiz brothers from New York City who

would pave the way for Gypsy Rose Lee’s brand of burlesque.

Modeling their shows after the glitzy, daring reviews staged in the

theaters of Paris, the Minsky brothers relied on grit,

determination, and a few tricks that fell just outside the law—and

they would shape, and ultimately transform, the landscape of

American entertainment.

With a supporting cast of such Jazz- and Depression-era

heavyweights as Lucky Luciano, Harry Houdini, FDR, and Fanny Brice,

Karen Abbott weaves a rich narrative of a woman who defied all odds

to become a legend—and whose sensational tale of tragedy and

triumph embodies the American Dream.
