Giới thiệu sách

Who Was Harry Houdini? by Tui T. Sutherland is an accessible illustrated biography of the world's most famous escape artist, published as part of the popular 'Who Was?' series by Grosset & Dunlap for readers aged 8 to 12. Harry Houdini (1874-1926), born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest and raised in Wisconsin and New York, developed the performance skills that made him a worldwide celebrity. Beginning as a trapeze artist, he evolved into the master escapologist who freed himself from handcuffs, straitjackets, sealed crates lowered into rivers, and a glass box filled with water from which he escaped upside-down, known as the Chinese Water Torture Cell. His New York Milk Can Escape (1908) and the Buried Alive stunt were among the most watched performances of the early twentieth century. Alongside his performances, Houdini became known for exposing fraudulent spiritualists and mediums. An engaging and fast-paced introduction to a remarkable life.
