About this ebook
THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER
The renowned and bestselling memoir—written with “insight, truth, and passion” (Sir Ian McKellen)—from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart.
From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations in a career spanning six decades with his indelible command of stage and screen. No other British working actor enjoys such career variety, universal respect, and unending popularity, as witnessed through his seminal roles—whether as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek fame, Professor Charles Xavier of Marvel's X-Men hit movie franchise, his more than forty years as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, his unforgettable one-man show adapted from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, or his comedic work in American Dad!, Ted, Extras, and Blunt Talk, among many others. Now, he presents his stunning memoir, a revealing portrait of a driven artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.

"It is extraordinary, the reach of Star Trek. If I entered into its universe a stranger to its customs, I neared the end of my time on The Next Generation recognizing that I was a custodian of something held dear by millions of people, probably hundreds of millions" As a fan of Star Trek from the Shatner days until now with "Lower Decks" I eagerly waited for this book, and it was just as I'd hoped, including a picture"dump" after Sir Patrick had signed off. During Covid I "rediscovered" both Stewart and Shakespeare as I and many others eagerly tuned in daily for a sonnet "fix". I am glad he's at peace with his past and looks forward to his active future. I highly recommend this book both for Star Trek Next Generation fans and theater fans. Highly Recommended 5/5
