About this product
Product Information
In this beautifully written, candid memoir, legendary actor Sidney Poitier reveals the spiritual depth, passion and intellectual fervour that has driven his remarkable life. Poitier credits his childhood of poverty on idyllic Cat Island in the Bahamas for equipping him with the unflinching sense of self-worth, family values and simple ethics that he has never since surrendered and that have dramatically shaped his world.Just a few years after his introduction to indoor plumbing and the automobile, Poitier broke countless barriers to launch a pioneering career portraying important, dignified characters in some of the most morally significant films of the late 20th century. His engaging memoir spans a time in American history from segregation, through the early Civil Rights conflicts, to present-day cultural struggles. Poitier shares his provocative thoughts on racism in Hollywood, consumerism and the media, illness and mortality, honouring a higher consciousness and paying the price for artistic integrity. This book is a powerful testament to the rewards of being true to one's self, acting passionately on one's convictions and boldly walking on the edge.

- 1***0 (403)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs described, great communication, very well packaged, fast postage. Happy buyer.
- n***e (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseTHE SELLER: The book arrived brand new & neatly packaged. My only “complaint” is that they didn't provide any tracking. I will leave a five-star feedback & buy from them again anyway, on “simplybestprices” I found what wasn’t available anywhere else. BOOK: “Opium Eater” by De Quincey, Popular Penguins: UNABRIDGED – no other publishing company offered the original. OK, it’s a glued, not sewn paperback, and the type is a bit small, but it was cheap, & it’ll be 296 pages of good read. Kudos!
