Eleanor and Franklin is one of the most highly acclaimed biographies written in recent times. Its author, Joseph Lash, won the Pulitzer and National Book Award in biography, as well as the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians. Its focus is Eleanor Roosevelt and her complex relationship with FDR. Based on her personal papers and ranging from her birth in 1884 to the death of her husband in 1945, this fascinating study reveals new dimensions in a marriage that had a significant impact on the course of American history.
Written with great insight and sensitivity by an author who was a close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt's for over twenty years, the volume explores the personal, familial and social influences that shaped Eleanor and prepared her for role as first lady and chief counselor to the president. In many ways Eleanor was her husband's conscience. Her idealism dictated the terms of the complex partnership she evolved with her husband during his rise through local and national politics.

If at the end one can say: “ this man used to be the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achiev...

Unless you can think when the song is done
No other is left in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel when left by one,
That all men else go with him;
Unless you can know when upraised by his breath,
Unless you can swear, "For life, for death!"
Oh, fear to call it loving! (查看原文)

Without Eleanor, Franklin can't be greater. She was his inner voice of conscience. A great woman full of will power and unconditional love.
