    Die große Autorin und Reporterin Martha Gellhorn war ihr Leben lang süchtig nach dem Reisen. In »Reisen mit mir und einem Anderen« erzählt sie von ihren fünf Höllenfahrten, Reisen nach China und Afrika, in die Karibik, nach Russland und Israel, die gründlich anders verlaufen als geplant. Kaum hat sie den sogenannten Unwilligen Begleiter (ihren damaligen Ehemann Ernest Hemingway) überredet, mit ihr nach China zu reisen, wo dieser keineswegs hinwill, entpuppt sich die Fahrt als absolute Schreckensreise: Alles, was nur schief gehen kann, geht schief. Doch was soll's, Martha Gellhorn schreibt darüber wie keine Zweite - scharfzüngig, witzig, selbstironisch.

    New York Times best seller.The best-selling author of The Paris Wife returns to the subject of Ernest Hemingway in a novel about his passionate, stormy marriage to Martha Gellhorn - a fiercely independent, ambitious woman ahead of her time who would become one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century.Named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, New York Public Library, Bloomberg, and Real Simple.In 1937, 28-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. It's her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. There she also finds herself unexpectedly - and unwillingly - falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend.On the eve of World War II, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and Cuba, Martha and Ernest's relationship and careers ignite. But when Ernest publishes the biggest literary success of his career, For Whom the Bell Tolls, they are no longer equals, and Martha must forge a path as her own woman and writer.Heralded by Ann Patchett as “the new star of historical fiction”, Paula McLain brings Gellhorn’s story richly to life and captures her as a heroine for the ages: a woman who will risk absolutely everything to find her own voice.Praise for Love and Ruin:“In this heart-tugging follow-up [to The Paris Wife], we meet Martha Gellhorn, a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, who was the third - and perhaps most intriguing - of [Hemingway's] wives. The title says it all.” (People)“Propulsive...highly engaging.... McLain does an excellent job portraying a woman with dreams who isn’t afraid to make them real.... He ungekürzt. Language: English.

    "Das Wetter in Afrika" erzählt die Geschichte der nicht so glanzvollen Tochter einer Hoteliersfamilie im afrikanischen Hochland, die schließlich zur Glücksbringerin ihrer Eltern wird. Die Erzählung einer Afrika-Retterin, die einen scheinbar sinnlosen Tod findet und die Geschichte eines vom Krieg verstörten Engländers, der eine heruntergekommene Farm kauft und so in die schlimmsten aller Ehen hineingerät. Martha Gellhorn erzählt leidenschaftlich und unerbittlich.

    Vom Spanischen Bürgerkrieg, den sie gemeinsam mit Ernest Hemingway erlebte, über den Zweiten Weltkrieg mit der Befreiung Dachaus und den Krieg in Vietnam bis zum Krieg in Nicaragua berichtete Martha Gellhorn fünfzig Jahre lang von nahezu jedem Schlachtfeld dieser Erde. Sie scherte sich dabei nicht um Kugelhagel oder Bombendetonationen, geschweige denn um militärische Strategien, ihr Augenmerk galt allein der leidenden Zivilbevölkerung, deren Elend sie eindrücklich festhielt.

    In 1937, courageous and independent Martha Gellhorn travels to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and finds herself drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in devastating conflict. She also finds herself unexpectedly - and uncontrollably - falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man already on his way to being a legend. In the shadow of the impending Second World War, and set against the tumultuous backdrops of Madrid, Finland, China, and especially Cuba, where Martha and Hemingway made their home, their relationship and professional careers ignite. But when Hemingway publishes the biggest literary success of his career, they are no longer equals, and Martha must make a choice: surrender to the suffocating demands of a domestic lifestyle or risk losing her husband by forging her way as her own woman and writer. It is a dilemma that will force her to break his heart and her own. Based on a true story. Martha Gellhorn was one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century. For Whom the Bell Tolls was dedicated to Martha and inspired by the time they were together in Spain. It was Hemingway's most successful book to date; it sold half a million copies within months, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and triumphantly reestablished his literary reputation. ungekürzt.

    Martha Gellhorn ist eine Legende, denn sie berichtete über 60 Jahre hinweg aus Krisen- und Kriegsgebieten für alle möglichen Zeitungen und war ihr Leben lang unterwegs. Sie besuchte sie das republikanische Spanien und Deutschland in Trümmern. Ihre Kriegsreportagen machten sie berühmt. Hier nun versammelt "eine der klügsten und eloquentesten Zeuginnen des 19. Jahrhunderts", wie Bill Buford sie nannte, Reportagen, die in Friedenszeiten entstanden sind. Reportagen, in denen sie den Zustand und die Psychologie eines Landes zu entschlüsseln sucht.

    Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella “Annie” March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn’s larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.At a party one night, Gellhorn introduces Annie to a pair of American GIs: the intense, blue-eyed John Michael Shaw, from illustrious New England stock, and the handsome, good-natured Bennett Templeton Adams, a Midwestern boy-next-door. A love triangle between Annie and the two soldiers begins to simmer. As the war against the Axis Powers rages on, Shaw and Adams are called to duty. Shaw is a legend in the trenches, Adams a brilliant tactician, and neither can get Annie March out of his head.Unbeknownst to Shaw and Adams, Annie has made up her mind - until a snap decision in the face of evil threatens to change everything for all three of them. Told with gripping emotional force and enthralling historical detail, Pont Neuf is an unforgettable story of desire and danger and a harrowing reminder of the uncertainty of war.Creator Max Byrd, master of the historical novel, and award-winning narrator Natasha Soudek combine forces to deliver a thoroughly engaging and entertaining listen.  Language: English.
