How many celebrities who lived more than a hundred years ago do we still remember by name today? Harry Houdini is a rare exception, and not just because of his impossible escapes from steel cells and buried crates. He was also a stubborn boy, capable of building himself, piece by piece, until he became a communications genius and later a man who used his fame to protect the most naive from the charlatans of his time. Massimo Polidoro (Tutti i segreti di Houdini, Piemme) recounts, on the centenary of his death, the life of a man who seems to have stepped out of a superhero comic book, but who actually existed.
