Life's What You Make It: The Sunday Times Bestseller 2020 de Phillip Schofield

Life's What You Make It: The Sunday Times Bestseller 2020

Autor Phillip Schofield
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2020

Imagineați-vă un băiețel pe plajele aurii din Cornwall, construind televizoare din cutii de carton și visând la ziua în care va trece dincolo de ecran. Această imagine nostalgică deschide Life's What You Make It, o autobiografie care nu este doar o cronică a succesului, ci o confesiune necesară. Phillip Schofield, o prezență constantă în casele britanicilor timp de patruzeci de ani, a simțit mult timp că nu poate scrie această carte; adevărul pe care trebuia să-l spună era prea dureros. Astăzi, el alege să se elibereze prin cuvinte, oferindu-ne o perspectivă intimă asupra omului care rămâne după ce luminile din studio se sting.

În paginile sale, găsim un parcurs fascinant care începe cu entuziasmul inocent din 'Broom Cupboard' alături de marioneta Gordon the Gopher și culminează cu presiunea imensă a transmisiunilor live la matinalul 'This Morning'. Apreciem modul în care Schofield echilibrează anecdote amuzante despre partenera sa de ecran, Holly Willoughby, cu momente de o vulnerabilitate frapantă. Tonul este onest, uneori sfâșietor, dar întotdeauna marcat de o demnitate care explică de ce este considerat o „comoară națională” în Regatul Unit.

Abordarea sa jurnalistică și retrospectivă evocă stilul din Parky: My Autobiography de Michael Parkinson, însă acolo unde Parkinson se concentrează pe arta interviului cu mari personalități, Schofield alege o introspecție mult mai personală. Dacă în Fern, Fern Britton explora viața de prezentator prin prisma empatiei și a zâmbetului cald, Schofield merge un pas mai departe, confruntând direct crizele de identitate și sacrificiile pe care le presupune o viață trăită sub lupa publicului. Este o lectură fluidă, care transformă nostalgia în claritate.

'For a long time, I felt that I couldn't write this book. At first, I didn't think I'd lived enough, then life got busy and filled with distractions. In more recent years, there was always a very painful consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go.

'I have recently decided that the truth is the only thing that can set me free. The truth has taken a long time to make itself clear to me, but now is the right time to share it, all of it.

'Television and broadcasting has been a part of my DNA for as long as I can remember. As a young boy I would make model TV sets out of cardboard boxes, while spending long summers at home, barefoot on Cornwall's golden beaches. Landing a job at the ice-cream kiosk, I would enviously look on as my presenting heroes took to the stage of Radio 1's Roadshow, an unforgettable event when it came to town.

'InLife's What You Make ItI look back with nostalgic delight on my life, from being a young boy endlessly writing letters to the BBC in pursuit of a job in broadcasting, to making it on to the Broom Cupboard, with my infamous sidekick Gordon the Gopher, to being on Going Live and starring as the lead in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It has taken four decades to get here but I feel lucky to have called the sets of Talking Telephone Numbers, The Cube, Dancing on Ice and of course, This Morning, home.

'I'm going to take you behind the scenes of my television home at ITV, into my career and my dangerously funny relationship with Holly Willoughby. I'm going to introduce you to my loving and remarkable family, and I hope most of all to tell you that life, it seems, is what you make it. Take it from someone who has sat on the very edge and looked over, it's all about the people that love you, and after that anything is possible. So, finally, here we go, this is the real me.'
