Product Description
This book could infuriate millions and especially Louise Brook’s fans and admirers. Bad reviews or so-called reviews from her fans are anticipated.
The book is totally different from all the other books and glowing essays on this unusual star, simply because it provides the most detailed and intimate depiction of the life of the REAL Louise Brooks, not the shining star on the silver screen camouflaged by camera tricks and Hollywood’s accessories, and the magic of German directors and cameramen, but Louise Brooks in real life. Everything you wanted to know about her affairs, her lovers, her scandalous life as a failed wife, as a call girl, as a courtesan, and manipulative femme fatale, her ups and downs, the way she saw the world and rebelled against it, her misfortune in Hollywood, her bizarre behavior, her numerous marriages (legal and illegal) and divorces, betrayal of her husbands, how she used men to reach her goals, her ad ultery, nudity and the dark shadows in her hidden life, far from fake fashion, extravagant display of elegance, and the glamorous façade she lived behind. Brooks was a prisoner of the world she created. She considered men toys and trampolines, and marriages a “common joke”! Here you will discover Louise Brooks the woman in the flesh, not the camouflaged and packaged star! As well as her affairs and steamy sexual relation with the biggest stars of the era, men and women, and especially the lesbians and bisexual of the “Sewing Circle” and product of the Lavender Marriages. It is an explosive book, but at least, it is revealing and informative.
Louise Brooks is unique. An enigmatic character blended with sophistication, elegance, panache, intelligence, finesse, an exemplary loyalty to friends (But not to lovers or husbands!!), generosity, sarcasm, defiance, and insatiable sex appetite. And this appetite was disturbing quite a bit, because she could not function without having sexual partners around the clock.
Louise Brooks did not live in a healthy and highly ethical milieu.
Her world was infested with drugs, lies, prostitution, betrayal, adultery, lesbianism, homosexuality, and fake promises.
Nevertheless, Hollywood insiders saw in Brooks a compassionate woman, with a heart of gold, and a great loyalty to her friends.
But unfortunately, Brooks burned down all the bridges and destroyed her safety net by rebelling against social rules and moral values.
Despite her intelligence, savoir-faire, shrewd strategies and a perfect understanding of her milieu and the doomed world she lived in, Louise Brooks had a double life; one for herself which alienated her from true friends, and the glamorous Brooks façade which plunged her into avalanches of misfortune, agony, failures self-destruction, and bitterness.
Enter her world at your own risk!
