My Dear Hamilton de Stephanie Dray

My Dear Hamilton

Autor Stephanie Dray, Laura Kamoie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2018

Putem afirma că puține figuri istorice au beneficiat de o reabilitare narativă atât de profundă precum Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton în paginile acestui roman. Dincolo de imaginea soției trădate în primul mare scandal sexual al Americii, My Dear Hamilton ne oferă perspectiva unei femei care a modelat, din umbră, însăși structura unei națiuni. Totul începe pe frontiera sălbatică a New York-ului, unde fiica unui general deprinsă cu rigoarea militară îl întâlnește pe Alexander Hamilton, un tânăr ofițer strălucit, dar lipsit de avere. Această întâlnire marchează debutul unei saga ce se întinde pe parcursul a 672 de pagini, capturând efervescența balurilor inaugurale și brutalitatea revoltelor de stradă. Reținem rigoarea istorică excepțională a textului: Laura Kamoie, istoric de profesie, și Stephanie Dray au analizat mii de scrisori originale pentru a reda vocea autentică a Elizei. Stilul este cinematic, pendulând între intimitatea căminului și mizele politice uriașe ale epocii. Cei care au parcurs I, Eliza Hamilton de Susan Holloway Scott vor fi pregătiți pentru o explorare și mai vastă a vieții de văduvă a protagonistei, perioadă în care aceasta a luptat să păstreze vie memoria soțului său în fața inamicilor politici. Această lucrare continuă misiunea începută de autoare în America's First Daughter, aceea de a scoate la lumină vocile feminine din spatele Părinților Fondatori. Dacă în volumul anterior accentul cădea pe Martha Jefferson, aici dinamica se schimbă către loialitate și iertare într-o uniune la fel de imperfectă ca țara pe care cei doi au construit-o. Este un roman polițist de idei și o dramă de epocă, scris cu o eleganță ce onorează limba engleză a secolului al XVIII-lea.

Descriere scurtă

USA Today Bestseller
"An edge-of my sear immersion into historical events...No study of Alexander Hamilton would be complete without reading this book." —Karen White, New York Times bestselling author
"The best book of the year!" —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network
Wife, Widow, and Warrior in Alexander Hamilton’s quest for a more perfect union
From the New York Times bestselling authors of America’s First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Perfect for fans of Ron Chernow's biography Alexander Hamilton and fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton: the Musical.
In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written novel, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza’s story as it’s never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.
A general’s daughter…
Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, she’s captivated by the young officer’s charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamilton’s bastard birth and the uncertainties of war.
A founding father’s wife...
But the union they create—in their marriage and the new nation—is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it all—including the political treachery of America’s first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness.
The last surviving light of the Revolution…
When a duel destroys Eliza’s hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husband’s enemies to preserve Alexander’s legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her own legacy. Questioning her tireless devotion to the man and country that have broken her heart, she’s left with one last battle—to understand the flawed man she married and imperfect union he could never have created without her…
