El octogenario animador repasa lo que ha aprendido en su vasta carrera televisiva y los desafíos que ha enfrentado tanto en su oficio de animador como en su vida.

En estas emocionantes memorias, Mario Kreutzberger nos cuenta la historia de su extraordinaria carrera como uno de los hombres más influyentes de la televisión en Chile, en Latinoamérica y en la comunidad hispana de Estados Unidos, donde entrevistó a los más humildes y los más poderosos, siempre con la intención de abrir fronteras y horizontes, y con especial interés por las inquietudes y vivencias de los inmigrantes de cualquier lugar del mundo.

Hijo de judíos que sobrevivieron al nazismo, Mario pasó de ser un joven graduado de técnico modelista --siguiendo los pasos del padre-- al orgulloso conductor y creador del programa de más larga duración de la historia de la televisión, siendo conocido como Don Francisco.

Sus encuentros con personajes insólitos, sus conversaciones con George Bush, Barack Obama o Michelle Bachelet, entre otros líderes, su visita a Sudáfrica para conocer el legado de Mandela, su viaje a China en 1976 --con el primer equipo en español que entró con cámaras al país asiático--, así como otras historias y experiencias profundas que ha vivido, van dando forma a estas páginas, en las que el autor se permite reflexionar sobre su oficio, su trayectoria y su vida con total honestidad. Mención aparte merece la hazaña de Teletón, que asegura la rehabilitación del 93 por ciento de los niños y jóvenes en situación de discapacidad en Chile y que aquí relata con la misma fuerza que lo llevó a sacarla adelante junto a todo el país. Una vida arrojada, un libro valiente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The eighty-plus year-old TV show host reflects upon what he has learned in his vast television career and the challenges he has faced both as a popular TV personality cheering people up and in his personal life.

In these moving memoirs, Mario Kreutzberger, better known by his stage name as Don Francisco, tells the story of his extraordinary career as one of the most influential people on television in Chile, Latin America, and for the US Hispanic community, where he interviewed from the most underprivileged to the most powerful, always with his intention of breaking down borders and opening minds.

Son of Jewish refugee parents, Mario proudly became the creator and host of the longest-running television program in history, where he became known as Don Francisco.

His meetings with unusual personalities, his conversations with George Bush, Barack Obama, and Michelle Bachelet, among other leaders, his visit to South Africa to learn about Mandela's legacy, as well as other stories and experiences throughout his life are what shaped these memoirs. In its pages, the author allows himself to reflect on his trade, his career, and his life with complete honesty. He also reflects about the Telethon that he founded, which ensures the rehabilitation of 93 percent of children and young people with disabilities in Chile, and how it came to be.

Measurements just didn't add up.
Size: X-Large, Color: Sky Blue
Quality of the shirt was nice but the measurements did not add up. I wear a 17 1/2 neck and 36/37 or 37/38 sleeve. I ordered an XL and the sleeves were a little to short and the neck was way to big. Could never wear a tie with this shirt. So going up in size wasn't an option because of the neck. The next size up that had longer sleeves was a 3X, not happening. So if I went down in size the sleeves still would have been to short and the shirt would have been to tight. If the shirt fits you then you have a good shirt at a great price with lots of colors.

Great purchase
Size: Large, Color: Blue Shark-white
Shirt was the perfect gift for my 21 year old son. The small pattern was perfect and he said that made the shirt cool. The material is comfortable and light enough for warm weather without feeling cheap. Shirt is versatile with the ability to dress up or down.
