"The shocking true stories behind Truman Coapote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayers - the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his "swans". "There are certain women," Truman Capote wrote, "who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich." Barbara "Babe" Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C.Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy's sister) - they were the toast of mid-century New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and startling way possible. Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer's block. While enjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel.one based on the remarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends. For years, Capote attempted to write Answered Prayers, what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for all to see, and he was banished from their high-society world forever. Laurence Leamer re-creates the lives of these fascinating swans, their friendships with Capote and one another, and the doomed quest to write what could have been one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical mysteries surrounding the life of Jesus, challenging traditional interpretations and offering a fresh perspective on this iconic figure. By scrutinizing the Gospels, particularly the Gospel of Mark, alongside historical accounts from figures like Flavius Josephus, the author presents a compelling argument for viewing Jesus within the context of Roman-occupied Judea and the Jewish struggle for liberation. The book explores the complexities of Jewish messianic expectations, highlighting the role of the Messiah as a warlord destined to restore the Jewish state and liberate the people from Roman oppression. It delves into the tumultuous political landscape of Judea, exposing the harsh realities of Roman rule and the fervent resistance it ignited among Jewish patriots. Central to the book's thesis is the identification of Jesus as a historical figure deeply intertwined with this struggle, a leader who embodied the aspirations of his people and challenged the might of the Roman Empire. Through meticulous analysis and a synthesis of historical and scriptural sources, this book sheds light on the political and social forces that shaped the life and legacy of Jesus. By humanizing this revered figure and placing him within a tangible historical context, the book offers a thought-provoking and insightful reinterpretation of one of history's most enduring figures, ultimately deepening our understanding of the man, his mission, and the world in which he lived. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
