    The American Duchess: The Real Wallis Simpson
    • This book explores the life of Wallis Simpson, an American socialite and the wife of Edward VIII, the former British king. Traditionally, the narrative portrays the handsome and charismatic Prince Edward as destined to marry a suitable bride. However, at nearly forty, he fell in love with Wallis, a divorced American woman. Initially, many believed the relationship would fade, but upon becoming king, Edward shocked the British establishment by announcing his desire to marry Wallis. Overnight, she was labeled as a seductress aiming to become queen. In a bold move, Edward declared he could not reign without her, leading to his abdication and subsequent exile with Wallis, who remained devoted to him. In Anna Pasternak's retelling, Wallis emerges not as a villain but as a victim of the abdication. Though flattered by Edward's attention, she never expected his infatuation to endure or his possessive nature to dominate their relationship. The royal family, church, and Parliament were aware of Edward's unsuitability to rule, and Wallis became a scapegoat for those seeking to dethrone him. This narrative sheds light on the complexities of their love and the societal pressures surrounding their unconventional union.

      Moskau, 1946: Im Büro eines literarischen Magazins begegnen sich der gefeierte Schriftsteller Boris Pasternak und die mehr als 20 Jahre jüngere Olga Ivinskaya. Es ist der Beginn einer leidenschaftlichen Liebesbeziehung zwischen dem verheirateten Autor und der schönen Witwe, die bis zu Pasternaks Tod währen soll. Doch Olga zahlt einen hohen Preis: Stalins Schergen verbannen sie zweimal in den sibirischen Gulag, und auch Pasternaks Familie setzt alles daran, den Dichter von seiner Geliebten und Muse fernzuhalten. Basierend auf Archivmaterial und Quellen aus Familienbesitz erzählt die Großnichte des Literaturnobelpreiträgers die Lebensgeschichte der Frau, die Pasternak zu Lara in Doktor Schiwago inspirierte. Ausstattung: 16 Seiten farbiger Bildteil
