Written with the same warmth, liveliness and ability to re-create reality that made Stanislavski a great actor, his autobiography tells of his childhood in the world of Moscow's wealthy merchants, his successes and failures as an amateur actor, how he studied human beings, and developed what has come to be known as the Stanislavski Method, how his group of dedicated amateurs became perhaps the greatest acting group the world has ever known (Washington Post), The Moscow Art Theatre.
