Une biographie très factuelle et précise, mais qui éclaire peu le personnage (si l'on comprends bien par manque de sources). ( ) Being a biography of Eva Braun, mistress of Reichsfuhrer Adolf Hitler. Writing a book-length biography of an interesting but shadowy figure such as Braun is a big ask, and our young author succeeds at times in inflating the sketchy documentation into a coherent whole. Eventually, though, her account drifts away into minutiae and tangents, most disastrously in an interminable chapter which stretches through more than a quarter of the book's length, and rambles through topics such as who had access to Hitler--for the most part people who didn't operate through Braun--and the lives of the wives of the Nazi hierarchy. And Gortemaker used up her authorial good will with this reviewer by her annoying and supercilious affectation of invariably enclosing the word Fuhrer in sneer quotes every time she used it--and she uses it a lot. There are a lot of interesting tidbits herein, and her rather skeptical evaluation of her sources is right on target, but overall this book is a curate's egg. This book does not really focus on Eva Braun so much as it does Life with Hitler. I recall a remark made by Albert Speer - 'The future historian will be very disappointed with Eva Braun - she is no Cleopatra or Marie Antoinette'. Yet the author tries their best. The author does make very interesting analyses of Hitler's inner circle, tearing apart some myths and presenting alternative views. But unfortunately, most of the important witnesses have passed away, and there is difficulty with treading any new ground. I won't blame the author - they did they best with what they had. Unfortunately, there is still much mystery surrounding Eva Braun - almost as much as Hitler. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Distinctions
In this groundbreaking biography, German historian Heike B. Görtemaker delves into the startlingly neglected historical truth about Adolf Hitler's mistress. More than just the vapid blonde of popular cliché, Eva Braun was a capricious but uncompromising, fiercely loyal companion to Hitler; theirs was a relationship that flew in the face of the Führer's proclamations that Germany was his only bride. Görtemaker paints a portrait of Hitler and Braun's life together with unnerving quotidian detail, while weaving their personal relationship throughout the fabric of one of history's most devastating regimes. Though Braun gradually gained an unrivaled power within Hitler's inner circle, her identity was kept a secret until the final days of the war. Faithful to the end, Braun committed suicide with Hitler in 1945, two days after their marriage. Through exhaustive research and newly discovered documentation, Görtemaker has meticulously built a surprising portrait of Hitler's existence outside of the public eye: Braun was privy to his thoughts, ruled life within his entourage, and held his trust.--From publisher description.
