The #CivilRightsMovement began long ago, and a new #historicalfiction novel explores the work #EleanorRoosevelt and #CivilRightsLeader #MaryMcLeodBethune did together and separately, from 1927 to 1945. #TheFirstLadies #MarieBenedict #BookReview #Berkley

The daughter of formerly enslaved parents, Mary McLeod Bethune refuses to back down as white supremacists attempt to thwart her work. She marches on as an activist and an educator, and as her reputation grows, she becomes a celebrity, renowned in the Black community, revered by titans of business, and recognized by U.S. Presidents. Eleanor Roosevelt herself is awestruck and eager to make her…

Marie Benedict - The Mystery of Mrs. Christie

An abandoned car brings the police to Styles, the famous residence of Agatha and Archibald Christie. The famous writer has gone missing after a fierce quarrel between the couple during breakfast. Archie does not seem concerned at all and he is astonishingly reluctant to cooperate with the investigators. For the detectives, his behaviour is highly suspicious and even more so when they uncover an affair he has had for quite some time and because of which he asked his wife for a divorce. Yet, all this information is not really helpful in determining the whereabouts of the grand dame of crime. This is one way the story can be told, but maybe there is also a completely different version.

 “Then the phone rang, shattering my lonely vigil. When I picked it up, I nearly cried in relief to hear a familiar voice. But then the voice spoke. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed.”

 Agatha Christie’s disappearance in December 1926 is, due to broad media coverage, a well known fact. However, the mystery has never been really solved and the crime writer herself did not comment on what actually happened during the ten days of her absence. Marie Benedict, by whom I already totally adored the portrait of Hedy Lamarr in “The Only Woman in the Room”, fills this gap with a very clever story which especially enthused my due to the tone which perfectly copies the crime writer’s style.

 The narration tells the events of two points in time alternatingly. The first recounts how Agatha and Archie met, their first years during WW1 and their quick marriage which is immediately followed by darker years stemming from Archie’s depressive and dark moods. The second point of time follows the events after her disappearance. The first is shown from Agatha’s point of view, the later gives more insight in Archie’s state of mind thus revealing a lot to the reader but at the same time, omitting very relevant pieces of information which keeps suspense at a high level.

 Even though it is a mystery, it is also the story of a woman who wants her marriage to succeed, who is willing to put herself and her daughter second after her husband’s needs and who fights even though there is nothing to win anymore. However, she does not breakdown but emerges stronger and wiser since she used her cleverness and capacity of plotting to free herself of her marital chains.

#Resenhamaeliteratura ⁣ Se você também gosta de histórias de guerra, baseadas em fatos reais, não pode deixar de ler A Única mulher, de Marie Benedict, lançamento da @PlanetadeLivrosBrasil.⁣ ⁣ A trama começa com uma apresentação no teatro da jovem austríaca Hedy Kiesler. Dona de uma beleza hipnotizante desperta a atenção de Friedrich Mandl, um poderoso e envolvente comerciante de armas austríaco.⁣ ⁣ Pra proteger seus pais, que são judeus, e a si mesma, aceita se casar com ele, um casamento rápido que logo mostra que o mundo mágico que ela imaginou não existe.⁣ ⁣ Vivendo perigosamente e convivendo com as flutuações de humor do seu marido, a jovem vai aprendendo a "ouvir" um mundo de segredos e conspirações, guardando estes dados, que poderão ser úteis no futuro. ⁣ ⁣ Fugindo deste casamento que se assemelha à uma prisão numa gaiola dourada, Hedy escapa para os Estados Unidos e volta a ser atriz, tornando-se a grande atriz de sucesso, Hedy Lamarr. ⁣ ⁣ Só que em meio ao sucesso, há o remorso de ter fugido sozinha. Paralelo ao seu trabalho com atriz, ela se une à um músico inventor e juntos desenvolvem uma tecnologia de espalhamento espectral que poderia ajudar e muito a marinha americana na guerra. São estas descobertas que revolucionaram os sistemas de comunicação e que deram origem a tecnologias como o wi-fi e o bluetooth. É muito interessante acompanhar suas criações e descobertas, embora para alguém de humana como eu, soem absolutamente incompreensíveis.⁣ ⁣ Me conta, quer ler? Recomendo a leitura!

Bu kitabı okuduktan sonra “Einstein” adını duyduğumda ya da gördüğümde artık aklıma öteki Einstein yani Mileva Mitza Maric gelecek. Mileva’nın, Albert Einstein’in biyografisindeki bir isimden daha fazlası olduğunu anladım! Bilim kişiye insanlığını unutturuyorsa,insan kalbini yok ediyorsa neye yararki.Kitabın başında ikilinin muhteşem zekası beni hayran bıraktı ve aşkları sıradan değildi.Sonra Albert Einstein’in davranışları tam bir hayal kırıklığıydı, en çok neye kızdım bilemiyorum fakat bunca fedakarlık yapan karısına köle muamelesi yapıp yanından değil gerisinden yürütmesi ve evliliklerini devam ettirmek adına hazırladığı antlaşma maddeleri(bilenler vardır, bu maddeleri bir yerde görmüştür ya da okumuştur ve belki de espri konusu yapmıştır😱) akıl alır gibi değil.Böyle entellektüel bir zekanın bir kadını aşağılaması kabul edilemez,özellikle de sıradışı zekaya sahip karısını... Kitap kapsamlı araştırmaların ürünü harika bir kurgu olsa da 1980’den sonra açıklanmış olan Mileva Mitza Maric’in , Albert Einstein’le ve arkadaşı Helene yazıştığı mektuplar referans alınmış. Tabiki Albert Einstein’in hayatını konu alan birçok kaynaktan da yararlanılmış. Okunmaya değer👍 Alıntılar yapacağım, daha sonra yorumlarda olacak, biraz uzun😉 #otekieinstein #ötekieinstein #mariebenedict #kanesyayınları #kanesyayinlari #edebiyat #biyografi #milevamaric #einstein #alberteinstein #okumak #read #book #books #instabook #vscobook #vscobooks #1kitap1fotograf #1k1f #okumahalleri #kitaptavsiyeleri #birkitapokudum https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Ep5o-ph8k/?igshid=17bbmc94mhabh

@aradagezercokcaokur Gunaydiiiin 💙💙💙💙 @okumacemberiolusturalim etkinliginin ilk kitabi #okudumbitti lerin arasinda yerini aldi. Kitaptan sonra #einstein i gormek istemedigime karar verdim. Size kitaptan bahsedeyim. 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 #otekieinstein Mileva dogustan bir bacaginin sakat olusu sebebi ile annesinin "siradan kadin" tanimina uyamayan, babasinin ise kizinin "hic kimseye ihtiyaci olmasin" dayatmalari arasinda gecen topal bir genc kizdir. Annesi ve ulkesi Sirbistan'in tanimlamasina gore "evlenmeye elverisli" degildir. Ama Mileva zekasi ile ulkesinde kizlarin okuyamadigi liseyi muhtesem bir puanla bitirmis ve universiteye kaydolurken Albert Einstein'dan bile yuksek puanla matematik-fizik bolumunu okumaya Zurih'e gitmistir. Universitede kiz sayisi hepi topu 4'tur ve kendi bolumunde "tek kiz ogrenci"dir. Profesor Weber onu gormezlikten gelerek sinifta surekli "beyler" diye hitap eder. Tabii sinifta sorulan bir soruyu "beyler " yerine MILEVA cevaplayincaya kadar.😂 "beyler"in kafasi durmustur. Kiz arkadaslari (Ruzica siyaset bilimi, Milena psikoloji, Helene ise tarih okumaktadir) ile ayni pansiyonda kalarak yakin arkadaslik kurar. Helene onun tek sirdasidir. Okulun ilk gununden beri Albert Einstein'in dikkatini ceken Mileva Albert'a asik olur. Evlenirler. Tabii evlenebilmek bile o kadar zor olur ki bunu da kitaptan ogrenin. 😆😆 Bir erkek ne kadar alcakca davranabilirse Albert'ta elinden geleni ardina koymaz. Ornegin Mileva'nin Lieserl'in anisina yazdigi ve urettigi gorelilik teorisinden Mileva'nin adini kaldirtir. Kendi adini yazdirir. Pekiii Lieserl kim??? Einstein'in hic gormedigi 1,5 yasinda vefat eden ilk cocugudur. O kadar acimasizdir ki kizini bir kez olsun gormeye gitmez. Kitabi siddetle tavsiye ediyorum 😘 😘 😘 #kanesyayinlariasktir #kanesyayinlari #bookstagram #okumaçemberioluşturalım #mariebenedict #ötekieınsteın #fotografcekkitapoku #kitapokufotografcek #Repost with @insta.saver.repost • • •

THE OTHER EINSTEIN MARIE BENEDICT

MY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️ PUBLISHER SourceBooks Landmark PUBLISHED October 18, 2016

An intriguing fictional account of the revolutionary and tumultuous times between Albert Einstein and his brilliant first wife, Mileva.

SUMMARY The gifted Mileva Maric was from a wealthy Serbian family, whose father encouraged her to be bold, and “go get your due”. She was the only woman among her six classmates at Zurich’s Swiss Federal Polytechnic. Soon after beginning classes she and Albert Einstein became friends. He continually pursued her. She was terrified of getting involved with him, her work was the most important thing in her life. But, as they spent more and more time together, her fondness for him increased.

“Miss Maric, I am madly in love with you. I promise that my love will never impede your profession. In fact, my love will only propel you forward in your work. Together, we will become the ideal bohemian couple—equal in love and work,”

With these words and promises she was lost. He was giving her everything she had ever dreamed of. Albert believed that together they could solve the major scientific riddles of their time. Mileva and Albert collaborated on research and papers eschewing archaic complicated ideas. But as the papers and articles they co-authored starting gaining recognition things began to changed. As Albert’s fame increases, Mileva is somehow standing deep in his shadow.

REVIEW THE OTHER EINSTEIN is a fascinating read about the gifted female physicist, who was smart enough to cross barriers and enter the all male physics and mathematics classroom in 1896. This book is a work of fiction, but the author MARIE BENEDICT provides several websites that contain the papers and letters that were used in formulating the book. http://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu

The story is well written and a quick read. If you enjoyed Loving Frank, Mrs. Poe or The Paris Wife you will like this book as well. A discussion guide is included in the back of the book making it ideal for book clubs.

I read this book free as part of the Big Library Read facilitated by Overdrive. It’s a reading program through your local library that connects millions of readers around the world with the same e-book at the same time. It’s a worldwide digital book club. The Big Read website includes a interview with Marie Benedict and a discussion forum. The Other Einstein is available on Overdrive June 12 to June 26, 2017.
