美國好萊塢版《逆轉人生》電影原著,真實故事改編!
 
Sellou來自社會最低層,是個失業的黑人移民,在不甚光彩的環境中長大,剛被假釋出獄,沒錢沒身分;Pozzo則是來自上流社會的有錢人,因為意外而癱瘓,不缺錢的他喜歡的東西都可以輕鬆到手,但生活卻無法自理。
 
Pozzo巧合下雇用了Sellou來照顧自己,這場巧合的相遇,讓社會背景天差地別的兩人因此發展出一段預料之外的友誼,改變了他們的一生。
 
 
 
Abdel Sellou and Philippe Pozzo di Borgo were two people marginalized by society: Sellou a wisecracking, unemployed immigrant, just out on parole; Pozzo a man born to wealth and privilege, recently paralyzed from the neck down after a paragliding accident. How they came to help each other, and the unlikely friendship that became a lifeline for them both, is an uplifting story that's now been told and retold around the world.
 
In this bestselling memoir, Sellou shows us the irreverent, real-life character behind Kevin Hart's smiling face. The book takes us from Sellou's childhood spent stealing candy from the local grocery store to his career as a pickpocket and scam artist, to his unexpected employment as a companion for a quadriplegic. Sellou tells his story with a stunning amount of talent, humor, style, and--though he denies that he has any--humility.


Abdel Sellou和Philippe Pozzo di Borgo是兩個被社會邊緣化的人:Sellou是一個聰明的,失業的移民,假釋中; Pozzo是一個出生於財富和特權的人,最近在滑翔傘事故後從頸部癱瘓。 他們如何相互幫助,以及成為彼此生命中重要的友誼,是一個令人振奮的故事,現在已被告知並在世界各地重新報導。

在這本暢銷的回憶錄中,塞魯(Sellou)向我們展示了凱文哈特笑臉背後的叛逆,現實生活中的角色。 這本書帶我們從Sellou的童年時代,從當地雜貨店偷糖果到他作為扒手和詐騙藝術家的職業生涯,以及他作為四肢癱瘓伴侶的意外工作。 Sellou以驚人的天賦,幽默,風格和他的故事講述了他的故—儘管他否認他自己的謙卑。
