Renowned and recognized globally, his fame nearly extinguished due to World War One injuries, but he recovered, returned, and regained his status only to face one of the most terrible tragedies in human existence.His hilarious films and heartrending personal tale unfold fully in this richly researched and annotated biography and filmography. Illustrated with dozens of photographs. About the author: Snorre Smári Mathiesen is a Norwegian cartoonist. A silent film aficionado since childhood, he has researched Max Linder’s life for the past ten years. He lives in Oslo, Norway.
