This book review discusses the main aspects of the concise biography of Chaplin, published by "Hourly History." Chaplin's life and work are presented in a sketch format, which may provide sufficient information for readers who have never heard the name of this cinematic giant. However, from a researcher's perspective, it is of little value. Although the reader can find here the personal difficulties and political challenges Chaplin had to overcome throughout his exceptionally long and prolific career, as well as elements of his enduring legacy, it does not provide the recipient with an in-depth analysis of these issues.
