La única mujer
Vienna, 1933. For Hedy Kiesler, a young Jewish actress, her beauty has been both salvation and torment: it protected her from the Nazis but led her into an oppressive marriage with Hitler and Mussolini's arms dealer. Underestimated by everyone around her, she overheard the Third Reich's secret plans when she accompanied her husband to parties and business dinners. Divided between glamour and the guilt of being privileged, she decides to escape to Hollywood with a new name: Hedy Lamarr. She soon became an icon of American cinema. No one in her new life suspected that she possessed confidential information about the Nazis, nor that she herself held an even greater secret: that she was a scientist capable of developing the technology needed to end the war quickly. Provided they would listen to her. A captivating novel based on the true story of an extraordinary woman, a film star and inventor, who revolutionized modern communication more than half a century ago, laying the foundations for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. She is brilliant. She is beautiful. Can the world bear her? |
