Count the Ways by Paul Aron
There are more kinds of love than anyone - even poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning - could count. Here are 25 great loves from across the spectrum: some married, some not; some lasting, some not. Here are the stories of Edith and Woodrow Wilson for whom love was her path to power...Edward VII and Wallis Warfield Simpson, for whom love meant his giving up the throne. Here are Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, whose love kept him sane...and Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, whose love arguably drove her crazy. Here are Christopher and Dana Reeve, whose love inspired him to live...and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whose love meant certain death. These love stories were chosen because they are the ones that have most fully captured our attention over the last century. The whole world watched when Charles and Anne Lindbergh took off together, or when Joe DiMaggio, as one reporter put it, looked over Marilyn Monroe's curves. And yet, in spite of all that attention, the true stories of the couples in this book often remained unknown. While fans were quick to blame Yoko Ono for breaking up the Beatles, few tried to understand what she and John Lennon felt for each other. And while the world focused on the disastrous marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, few paid attention to his enduring relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles. These stories and more, are revealed here, each accompanied by a striking black and white photo of the couple.| SKU | Unavailable |
