CBS Sunday Morning Summer Book Report Pick "Laurie Gwen Shapiro has dug deep into the archives, and emerged with an exhilarating tale of the adventurous life of Amelia Earhart and the remarkable relationship that helped to forge her legend. Yet Shapiro goes even further--stripping away the myths and revealing something far more profound and intricate and true. The Aviator and the Showman is one terrific book."--David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon The riveting and cinematic story of a partnership that would change the world forever In 1928, a young social worker and hobby pilot named Amelia Earhart arrived in the office of George Putnam, heir to the Putnam & Sons throne and hitmaker, on the hunt for the right woman for a secret flying mission across the Atlantic. A partnership--professional and soon otherwise--was born. The Aviator and the Showman unveils the untold story of Amelia's decade-long marriage to George Putnam, offering an intimate exploration of their relationship and the pivotal role it played in her enduring legacy. Despite her outwardly modest and humble image, Amelia was fiercely driven and impossibly brave, a lifelong feminist and trailblazer in her personal and professional life. Putnam, the so-called "PT Barnum of publishing" was a bookselling visionary--but often pushed his authors to extreme lengths in the name of publicity, and no one bore that weight more than Amelia. Their ahead-of-its time partnership supported her grand ambitions--but also pressed her into more and more treacherous stunts to promote her books, influencing a certain recklessness up to and including her final flight. Earhart is a captivating figure to many, but the truth about her life is often overshadowed by myth and legend. In this cinematic new account, Laurie Gwen Shapiro emphasizes Earhart's multifaceted human side, her struggles, and her authentic aspirations, the truths behind her brave pursuits and the compromises she made to fit into societal expectations. Drawing from a trove of new sources including undiscovered audio interviews, The Aviator and the Showman is a gripping and passionate tale of adventure, colorful characters, hubris, and a complex and a vivid portrait of a marriage that shaped the trajectory of an iconic life.

The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart

The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart

Gabrielle Calvocoressi

Persea Books Inc
2005
nidottu
Whether in the title poem, spoken by those who lived longingly and vicariously through the famous missing aviator, or in "Circus Fire, 1944," which intimately recounts a haunting New England tragedy, Gabrielle Calvocoressi uses her prodigious gifts of imagination and empathy to give voice to the hope and heartbreak of small-town America. In painstaking, vernacular verse, she conveys the ambitions and failings of a distraught populacein the edgy jazz portrait, "Suite Billy Strayhorn," for example, or the enthralling, interwoven sequence, "At the Adult Drive-In," which conveys, at once, a personal and communal corruption. Penetrating and compassionate, "The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart" portrays, with a storyteller's arc, the troubled landscape of the left-behind.

Then Came The Dawn: The Search for Amelia Earhart: Then & Now

To disappear is different than to be destroyed. It is to remain forever alive but frozen in limbo. This has been the fate of Amelia Earhart. At the moment she vanished she was regarded as the world's foremost aviatrix. It was not just skill that had given her the heady heights of fame she enjoyed. She was charismatic and courageous. She exemplified progress and daring, and she became an irrepressible example of the budding unstoppable womanhood. Challenging the dangers of flight, this scrawny, androgynous yet charming tomboy typified courage rising over adversity. At the climax of her career, she decided to tackle the world-a flight approximating the circumference of this planet, a flight never undertaken before by man or woman. Over its most harrowing expanse-the vast Pacific-she vanished. The circumstances were such there was room to doubt she simply crashed at sea. This has opened a door to many theories about her ultimate fate. A Pacific island radio operator picked up a garbled message indicating Earhart had survived ditched on an island. Native Marshallese declared a white woman flier had been picked up and taken away by the Japanese. Natives on Saipan said a white woman had been brought ashore by their Japanese occupiers, fate thereafter unknown. These and other clues have come together to instill the instinctive feeling that Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan survived. Yet why were they not repatriated to the United States? Every theory conceived since 1937 has tried to explain this. In themselves these theories have become their own reality. Often only thinly connected to the facts, they have become Earhart's unintended legacy. It is time for a biography of Earhart's disappearance rather than yet another biography of the famed aviatrix. In this volume, the focus is on that final dawn she vanished and what has come about since then. Then Came the Dawn is a critical look at the theories and, insofar as it bears on them, the career of Amelia Earhart. Aside from his strange name, Gian J. Quasar stands out for his detailed investigation of popular topics and cold cases. Among the distinctions his books have achieved is inspiring a Resolution in Congress and several TV documentaries.
