Krátky popis
Who was the real Wallis: an opportunistic American social climber,
a master manipulator or the true love of Edward's life? Amid the
cacophony of condemnation her story has become obfuscated. Untitled
is an intimate biography of one of the most misunderstood women in
British royal history. His charisma and glamour ensured him the
status of a rock star prince.Yet Edward gave up the British throne,
the British Empire and his position as Emperor of India, to marry
his true love, American divorcee Wallis Simpson.So much gossip and
innuendo has been levelled at Wallis Simpson that it has become
nearly impossible to discern the real woman. Many have wondered
why, when Edward could have had anyone he desired, he was smitten
with this unusual American woman. As her friend Herman Rogers said
to her in 1936 when news of her affair with Edward broke: 'Much of
what is being said concerns a woman who does not exist and never
did exist.'History is mostly perceived from the perspective of
his-story.But what about her story? Anna Pasternak's new book is
the first ever to give Wallis a chance and a voice to show that she
was a warm, loyal, intelligent woman adored by her friends, who was
written off by cunning, influential Establishment men seeking to
diminish her and destroy her reputation. As the author argues, far
from being the villain of the abdication, she was the victim.Anna
Pasternak seeks to understand an unusual, deeply misunderstood
woman, and the untenable situation she became embroiled in. Using
testimony from their inner circle of friends, she presents a very
different Wallis Simpson.With empathy, intimacy and thorough
research, this book will make readers view her story as it has
never been told before.
