He is one of Germany's biggest film stars, starring in international cinema and television hits, and has fans all over the world. For a long time, it didn't look like Oliver Masucci would amount to anything. Mocked and tormented as an "Itaker" child in the 1970s, never taken seriously even by his own family. It's the unlikely rags-to-riches story of a child of guest workers in a German-Italian cultural melting pot. A taste of home, so to speak. Oliver Masucci tells of the struggle for recognition, of an actor's life between Bochum and Hollywood, and of how pasta simply makes you happy. A book to savor. Stock your fridge before you read it. "This life is a page-turner, it demands to be read! Oliver Masucci captivatingly tells of the power of dreams and the strength of optimism. Deeply personal, Dreamer Dancer is also a book about each and every one of us." Frank Schätzing New product
