La realizadora del diablo. La amiga de Hitler. La mejor cineasta del siglo XX.

Para The New York Daily Mirror era «tan bonita como una cruz gamada», y para Goebbels, «la artista que mejor nos entiende». En mayo de 1945, tras la derrota de la Alemania nazi, Leni Riefenstahl quema documentos, cartas y material fotográfico en el jardín de su casa ante la inminente llegada de los americanos. Angustiada por su relación con Hitler y su círculo más íntimo, Leni rememora su pasado artístico y personal, un pasado que la convirtió en la mujer más célebre del Tercer Reich, enla directora más famosa del mundo y en la única persona capaz de tutear al Führer después de dirigir El triunfo de la voluntad, la película sobre el VI Congreso del Partido Nacionalsocialista. De talento inequívoco, su ascenso parecía imparable, pero la Noche de los Cristales Rotos y la Segunda Guerra Mundial cuestionaron su carrera como cineasta. Su nombre quedó así asociado al poder visual del nazismo y a la ambigua frontera entre arte y propaganda.

Cortejada por Mussolini y Stalin; admirada por Steven Spielberg, Ford Coppola y Quentin Tarantino; odiada por Marlene Dietrich, y elogiada por Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol o Mick Jagger, Leni Riefenstahl es uno de los personajes más controvertidos del siglo XX. ¿Fue una colaboracionista del nazismo o una víctima más del dictador?

Con más de 2,000,000 de ejemplares vendidos, Reyes Monforte vuelve con la primera novela sobre Leni Riefenstahl, en la que narra desde sus inicios como bailarina hasta los sonados romances que le dieron fama de mujer independiente y libertina.

La mirada del mal es un recorrido por el Berlín pecaminoso de la República Weimar, el ascenso del fascismo en Europa, la caída del Tercer Reich y la reinvención de quien fue considerada « los ojos de Hitler».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The devil's filmmaker. Hitler's friend. The best filmmaker of the 20th century.

For The New York Daily Mirror, she was "as pretty as a swastika," and for Goebbels, "the artist who understands us best." In May 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Leni Riefenstahl burned documents, letters, and photographic material in her garden in anticipation of the imminent arrival of the Americans. Distressed by her relationship with Hitler and his inner circle, Leni recalls her artistic and personal past, a past that made her the most famous woman in the Third Reich, the most famous director in the world, and the only person capable of addressing the Führer informally after directing Triumph of the Will, the film about the Sixth Congress of the National Socialist Party. With her unmistakable talent, her rise seemed unstoppable, but Kristallnacht and World War II called her career as a filmmaker into question. Her name became associated with the visual power of Nazism and the ambiguous boundaries between art and propaganda.

Courted by Mussolini and Stalin; admired by Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and Quentin Tarantino; hated by Marlene Dietrich, and praised by Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, and Mick Jagger, Leni Riefenstahl is one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Was she a collaborator with Nazism, or just another victim of the dictator?

With more than 2,000,000 copies sold, Reyes Monforte returns with the first novel about Leni Riefenstahl, in which she recounts her beginnings as a dancer and the notorious romances that gave her a reputation as an independent and libertine woman.

The Gaze of Evil is a journey through the sinful Berlin of the Weimar Republic, the rise of fascism in Europe, the fall of the Third Reich, and the reinvention of the woman who was considered "Hitler's eyes."

Nat Turner was NOT happy
I think Mr Styron may have took some liberties with Nat Turner's "orientation" without the research or data to support his opinion.

A book for the ages...historically concise and horrific at once
William Styron, a gifted writer outdid himself with this book. His concise detail gives us an inside view on the depth of feeling employed by the subject of this book. The book while concise and tender pulls us in as these events take place. As Mailer delves deeper into the mind of Nat Turner, we cannot help but feel a sense of the suffering this man endured and this is what gives us perspective into this tragedy as it unfolds. A compelling masterpiece of literature.

Good gift but particular gift for this difficult person to shop for
Format: Paperback
Got this as a gift for a friend and he was hard to shop for even after asking his wife. He's not a handyman, or a tech savvy man. He cooks, and is a well read man with interests in politics and psychology, he's not at all a gamer either. He doesnt DO much but work, it's not like he works out, golf's or anything like that... And they have a Brady bunch family and all she gave me to go on was he likes malcol x. And this author is more Malcom x than mlk and aggressive in views (when being compared to MLK) but is also very intertwined with their philosophies as he was IN it... According to the person I gave the gift to. Basically he loved it! So
