New York Times bestselling author Daisy Goodwin returns with a story of the scandalous love affair between the most celebrated opera singer of all time and one of the richest men in the world. 'An extraordinary, vivid, and skilful re-imagining of a modern Greek legend' - Victoria Hislop In the glittering and ruthlessly competitive world of opera, Maria Callas is known simply as la divina: the divine one. With her glorious voice, instinctive flair for the dramatic and striking beauty, she's the toast of the grandest opera houses in the world. Yet her fame has been hard won: raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by a mother who mercilessly exploited her, Maria learned early in life how to protect herself. When she meets the fabulously rich shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, her isolation melts away. For the first time in her life, she believes she's found a man who sees the woman rather than the legendary soprano. Desperately in love, Onassis introduces her to a life of unbelievable luxury, mixing with celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. And then, suddenly, it's over. The international press announce that Onassis will marry the most famous woman in the world, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, leaving Maria to pick up the pieces. In this remarkable novel, Daisy Goodwin brings to life a woman whose extraordinary talent, unremitting drive and natural chic made her a legend. But it was only in confronting the heartbreak of losing the man she loved that Maria Callas found her true voice. 'I gulped it down... the brilliantly persuasive portrayal of a woman negotiating the demands of her art with an intense emotional life is so compelling' - Elizabeth Buchan

Ottobre 1968. Mentre sull’isola di Skorpios si celebrano le nozze fra il milionario Aristotele Onassis e Jackie Kennedy, la vedova del presidente, a Parigi Maria Callas sorseggia champagne in compagnia dell’amico di sempre Franco Zeffirelli. La sua carriera di cantante è sul viale del tramonto, e l’armatore greco – di cui era stata la compagna per dieci anni – l’ha tradita e abbandonata. Ma nemmeno in questo momento i riflettori su di lei si spengono: voce d’oro della lirica ed elegantissima diva, la sua vita è ormai da anni un palcoscenico su cui sono puntati gli occhi del mondo intero. E sotto questa luce abbagliante Maria vive d’arte e d’amore, trasformando la realtà quotidiana in teatro e il teatro in realtà. Dal giorno in cui incontra il suo destino di artista ad Atene fino all’ultima, sensazionale recita di Tosca al Covent Garden, la Callas arderà dello stesso fuoco delle eroine che incarna in scena, rendendo la sua esistenza un racconto epico di ambizione, desiderio e passione, mentre intorno a lei vorticano calunniatori e adoratori, nemici e salvatori, falsi amici e fedelissimi compagni di strada. Il dramma di una delle stelle più grandi e tragiche del Novecento, ma anche una Maria inedita, intima, piena di sentimento e fragilità: in un romanzo ardente eppure dalla penna leggerissima, Daisy Goodwin ci restituisce il ritratto di una diva irresistibilmente umana, spesso incompresa eppure in grado di comunicare tutto, cuore a cuore, al suo pubblico.

This insightful study places African American women's stardom in historical and industrial contexts by examining the star personae of five African American women: Dorothy Dandridge, Pam Grier, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Halle Berry. Interpreting each woman's celebrity as predicated on a brand of charismatic authority, Mia Mask shows how these female stars have ultimately complicated the conventional discursive practices through which blackness and womanhood have been represented in commercial cinema, independent film, and network television. Mask examines the function of these stars in seminal yet underanalyzed films. She considers Dandridge's status as a sexual commodity in films such as Tamango, revealing the contradictory discourses regarding race and sexuality in segregation-era American culture. Grier's feminist-camp performances in sexploitation pictures Women in Cages and The Big Doll House and her subsequent blaxploitation vehicles Coffy and Foxy Brown highlight a similar tension between representing African American women as both objectified stereotypes and powerful, self-defining icons. Mask reads Goldberg's transforming habits in Sister Act and The Associate as representative of her unruly comedic routines, while Winfrey's daily television performance as self-made, self-help guru echoes Horatio Alger narratives of success. Finally, Mask analyzes Berry's meteoric success by acknowledging the ways in which Dandridge's career made Berry's possible.
