Paperback. Condition: Fine. 'An extraordinary drama of exile and espionage' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Compelling . . . as engaging a read as Stalingrad and Berlin' Guardian ______________ Olga Chekhova was the niece of playwright Anton Chekhov and a Russian beauty. She was also a famous Nazi-era film actress, closely associated with Adolf Hitler. After fleeing Bolshevik Moscow for Berlin in 1920, she was recruited by her composer brother Lev to work for Soviet intelligence; in return, her family were allowed to join her. By 1945, several of them were trapped in Berlin as the Red Army approached; meanwhile, as Olga had appeared in photographs with Hitler and his entourage, the rest of her family in Moscow were waiting to be arrested by the NKVD secret police. The dramatic tale of how one family survived through the Russian Revolution, the Civil War, the rise of Hitler and Stalin, and the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union is, in Antony Beevor's hands, a breathtaking tale of glamour and survival. It's an extraordinary story of extraordinary times. ______________ 'Fascinating. An intricate, gracefully told and often moving social history of a talented family in times of revolution, civil war, dictatorship and world conflict' Rachel Polonsky, New Statesman.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Diva oder Doppelagentin Ein unbekanntes Stück deutscher Zeitgeschichte.Sie war eine berühmte Schönheit. Sie war eine begnadete Schauspielerin. War Olga Tschechowa auch eine skrupellose Spionin Mit großer Neugierde geht Antony Beevor dieser ungeklärten Frage nach. Die Spur führt zunächst nach Russland, wo sie als Nichte Anton Tschechows in eine legendäre deutsch-russische Künstlerfamilie hineingeboren wird. Nach einer aufregenden Kindheit und einem wilden Leben in der Bohème flieht »La Tschechowa« in den Wirren der Oktoberrevolution nach Westen. In Deutschland avanciert sie unter berühmten Regisseuren zum Stummfilmstar und unter Hitler zur hofierten Staatsschauspielerin. Im April 1945 kehrt sie dem belagerten Berlin den Rücken und wird vom russischen Abwehrdienst nach Moskau geflogen. Nicht zuletzt deshalb sah sie sich verdächtigt, eine sowjetische Spionin gewesen zu sein. Anhand bisher streng geheimer Unterlagen des russischen Geheimdienstes erhärtet Antony Beevor den hässlichen Verdacht gegen eine schöne, aber zwielichtige Frau.Beevors gründlich recherchiertes Buch ist viel mehr als eine herkömmliche Künstlerbiografie. Es zeichnet ein faszinierendes Zeit- und Familienbild und lüftet das Geheimnis der Tschechowa und der sie umgebenden NS-Größen. Zeitgeschichte brillant erzählt.
