'Riveting, tragic tale' New Yorker 'Anna Pasternak has produced an irresistible account of joy, suffering and passion' Financial Times The heartbreaking story of the passionate love affair between Boris Pasternak and Olga Ivinskaya - the tragic true story that inspired Doctor Zhivago. 'Doctor Zhivago' has sold in its millions yet the true love story that inspired it has never been fully explored. Pasternak would often say 'Lara exists, go and meet her', directing his visitors to the love of his life and literary muse, Olga Ivinskaya. They met in 1946 at the literary journal where she worked. Their relationship would last for the remainder of their lives. Olga paid an enormous price for loving 'her Boria'. She became a pawn in a highly political game and was imprisoned twice in Siberian labour camps because of her association with him and his controversial work. Her story is one of unimaginable courage, loyalty, suffering, tragedy, drama and loss. Drawing on both archival and family sources, Anna Pasternak's book reveals for the first time the critical role played by Olga in Boris's life and argues that without Olga it is likely that Doctor Zhivago would never have been completed or published. Anna Pasternak is a writer and member of the famous Pasternak family. She is the great-granddaughter of Leonid Pasternak, the impressionist painter and Nobel Prize winning novelist Boris Pasternak was her great-uncle. She is the author of three previous books.

'Draws startling parallels with Meghan ... Both were 34 when they met their princes, both are adored children of strong, single mothers, both have a pared-down style and an electric presence and both are evidently worshipped by their Royal partners.' S Magazine The intimate biography of one of the most misunderstood women in British royal history. Life has always been made difficult for those marrying into England's royal family. In 1936, just months into his reign, King Edward VIII proposed to Wallis Simpson, a divorced American woman. Gossip ran wild, and that cacophony of speculation and distrust both hid the real Wallis, and forced Edward into abdicating so that he might marry the woman he adored. In this intimate biography Anna Pasternak seeks to understand Wallis - and her relationship with Edward and The Crown. Using testimony from her closest friends, she shows the warm, loyal, intelligent woman who was written off and undermined by the powerful, often manipulative men of the Establishment. This is Wallis Simpson's story as it has never been told before. Previously published as Untitled.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Heilpadagogik, Sonderpadagogik, Note: 1, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt am Main (Fachbereich Erziehungswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Die Geburt ist ein aufregendes Ereignis im Leben des Kindes. Es verlasst die behagliche Warme des Mutterleibes. Die Welt, in die es kommt, ist voll von grellem Licht, lauter und kalter. Nun muss es selbst atmen und essen. Aber der kleine Mensch ist gut vorbereitet: Schon Monate vorher hat er gelernt, zu schlucken, zu saugen und zu greifen. Alles hat sich zur gegebenen Zeit entwickelt" (Sekretariat der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz, S. 15). Auch fur die Mutter ist dieses Ereignis entscheidend. Es wird ihr Leben verandern. Zum ersten Mal halt sie ihr eigenes Kind im Arm. Sie kann es sehen, beruhren und begreifen, d.h. sie kann einen direkten Kontakt zu ihm aufnehmen. Wahrend der zuruckliegenden Schwangerschaft war dies nur bedingt moglich. Erst in der zweiten Halfte der Schwangerschaft konnte sie das Kind durch seine Bewegungen und Tritte wahrnehmen. Zuvor spurte sie nur die Veranderung ihres eigenen Korpers. Daher sind gerade in dieser Zeit der Schwangerschaft fur die werdende Mutter die Besuche bei ihrem Gynakologen besonders wichtig. Bei diesen Besuchen erhalt sie nicht nur Informationen uber die ersten Entwicklungsschritte ihres Kindes, sondern es werden ihr auch verschiedene pranatal diagnostische Untersuchungsmethoden von ihrem Arzt empfohlen, welche "dem Wohle" ihres Kindes dienen sollen. Ausser den mittlerweile ublichen Vorsorgeuntersuchungen, wie z.B. Ultraschall, werden den Frauen individuell verschiedene, spezielle zusatzliche pranatale Untersuchungen angeboten, welche zahlreiche Informationen uber die vorgeburtliche Entwicklung ihres Kindes vermitteln sollen. Jedoch beeinflussen nicht selten die moglichen Ergebnisse der pranatalen Untersuchungen die Beziehung der zukunftigen Mutter zu ihrem ungeborenen Kind. Diese konnen ihr sowohl Sicherhei
