Fine unread condition black boards, black cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "She lived a life that captivated the world. She lived a love that forever changed a nation's destiny. She was Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, one of the most mysterious and fascinating women of the century. Her story has become the stuff of romantic legend. Millions have wondered how a plain, middle-class, divorced Baltimore woman was able to enchant and capture Prince Charming - the golden haired Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, who loved Wallis so much that he gave up his throne for her. What was the secret allure, so powerful that she almost became queen of England? Few have known the truth about the personal life of the Duchess of Windsor - until now. The first biography since her death in 1986, this is the book bestselling biographer Charles Higham was born to write. He has done prodigious research, studying hundreds of newly declassified documents now available to him under the Freedom of Information Act and tens of thousands of pages of other primary and secondary material, including the records from seized German archives and British intelligence dossiers. This material has enabled the author to write an electrifying saga of a woman's intrigues, schemes, and ambitions, played out in a glittering world of the most fabulous wealth and luxury. In The Duchess of Windsor, the author makes many sensational revelations, including the secret of Wallis's birth that precluded her becoming queen; her harrowing years with her first husband, an alcoholic and bisexual aviator; her extraordinary experiences in the bordellos, luxury hotels, and gambling saloons of a Chna racked by civil war; the abrupt end of her only pregnancy, and her subsequent medical problems; her friendships with top Nazi and Fascist officials; the role it is possible that she played in the leaking of critical intelligence information to Nazi Germany; the couple's involvement, while exiled to the Bahamas during World War II, in the cover-up of a famous murder case, solved her from the first time; the reasons for the Queen Mother's much-publicized vendetta against the duchess; and the duchess's shocking romantic life, both premarital and extramarital. The author tells the story of Wallis's conquest of the duke with more illuminating detail than in any onther book on the Windsors. After World War II, the pair emerged as the dazzling monarchs of international society. The duchess amassed an unprecedented $50 million collection of jewels and a coterie of glamorous, sometimes decadent friends. She was admired as a paragon of style and elegance. But even so, the duchess had to summon all her courage to deal with the constant censure of the royal family and her widowhood after the death of the duke. The world was riveted when the duchess's jewels were auctioned recently at Sotheby's in Geneva to such celebrities as Elizabeth Taylor and Calvin Klein. Here is a jewel that everyone can afford: The Duchess of Windsor is sure to be an international sensation." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

She was graced by a special communion with God, and the diary expresses her conviction that communion ought to be the center of our lives. Since the 1940?s, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, St. Stanislaus Kostka Province, have shared this conviction and have undertaken the promulgation of God?s mercy throughout the world, particularly as it has been proclaimed by [Saint] Faustina. In 1979, convinced of the importance of the diary, the Marians were instrumental in bringing it - in its rough typewritten form - out of Poland. We made the necessary corrections to the manuscript and published a critical Polish edition that has been promulgated throughout the world to Polish speaking people. At the same time, we commissioned a couple in Poland, Adam and Danuta Pasicki, to translate the diary into English. Once they had completed this first, literal translation we asked Archbishop George Pearce, S.M., to re-translate portions of it in accordance with proper English terminology for the various theological concepts and spiritual experiences referred to throughout the diary. Archbishop Pearce was supported in this second translation by Fathers George Kosicki, C.S.B., Gerald Farrell, M.M., Leo McCauley, S.J., and an Oblate, Francis Bagan, O.M.I. When this text was completed, it was given to Father Seraphim Michalenko, M.I.C., who was Director of the Divine Mercy Department from 1979-1986. Together with Sister Sophia Michalenko, C.M.G.T., he carefully reviewed the translation, often referring back to the original Polish to ensure exactness of expression. Father Joseph Sielski, M.I.C., and Father Kazimierz Chwalek, M.I.C., were then asked to review the text, re-reading it for authentic agreement with the Polish. Finally, in the first part of 1987, the text was returned to the Divine Mercy Department, [then] headed by Father George Kosicki, C.S.B. Through his efforts, the tireless work of Sister Sophia Michalenko, C.M.G.T., and the assistance of Vincent Flynn, the diary was subjected to a complete editing, re-typing, and proofing process for clarity of expression and readability according to current English grammar and usage. The index, listing the main themes of the diary, was compiled by Father Eugene Ozimek and developed by Fr. George Kosicki and Sister Sophia. The design, composition, and mechanicals were then completed by Charles Parise and Pat Menatti, and the diary was printed by the Marian Press at the Marian Helpers Center. To all involved with this work, we wish to express our deepest gratitude and the assurance of our prayers. Since the Polish diary is the official text, we have made every effort to be truly faithful to it, and to retain the variousl shades of meaning implied in the theological and spiritual terms used by [Saint] Faustina - a definite challenge, indeed! In translating the diary, we dealt with the same kind of challenge that faces the translators of Sacred Scripture. Some terms allow for a variety of expressions even though the meanings are the same, and the final translation thus becomes a personal choice of style and expression on the part of the translator. ; FINE. Book.

He is recognised as one of the most influential musicians to have emerged from the twentieth century.

He is widely recognised as a founder of 'Flower Power' and travelled to India with The Beatles to meditate under the guidance of the Maharishi. He currently lives in Ireland with his wife Linda and continues to write poetry and music. ; Donovan's autobiography charts his life from a post-war, Glaswegian childhood to the height of an international career as one of the leading figures of the 1960's music scene. Always feeling like an outsider, he found relief through music and poetry. The book reveals how he came to be influenced by Buddhist teachings, and the music of Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez. The book explores the significance of falling deeply in love with the woman who was to become his muse, and the profound sense of loss he felt when their relationship came to an end, and how the loss affected him both personally and creatively. A leader of the folk revival in both Britain and America, the book recounts how he rose to be an international star, releasing songs such as "Mellow Yellow" and "Catch the Wind", and his most successful album, "Sunshine Superman".

He reveals the story of how he developed friendships with Baez, Dylan and the Beatles, with whom he a shared spiritual sojourn to meditate with the Maharishi in India. Donovan's autobiography offers first-hand insights into his music and poetry, recollects his rise to fame and the way in which destiny was to play a hand by re-uniting him with the lost love of his life through a chance meeting. ; Contents: Childhood: Glasgow, 1954 -- Teenage Rebel -- Vagabond -- Wind catcher -- Folksinger -- Cops 'n' robbers -- Songmaker -- Linda Anne -- America wants Donovan -- Love, love, love -- Bobbie -- The trip -- Pandemonium -- Fairytale -- The world is beautiful -- Sunshine supergirl -- Magician -- Busted -- Sky of blue and sea of green -- The road again -- Electrical banana -- Jenifer Juniper -- Initiation -- Prince of flower power -- Yogi -- Mia -- The Hurdy Gurdy M an -- Disillusion -- The lord of the isles -- Atlantis -- The death of Brian Jones -- Karon -- It's over -- Voyage -- The journal -- Freaky -- The faerie -- Madness -- Return ; FINE/FINE.
