Kershaw is super, Rehan; I'm sure you'll love it. The only other biography that comes close, in my estimation, is that by Joachim Fest, a German historian, though that's quite dated now.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-71358764537241999052010-02-18T21:51:24.375-08:002010-02-18T21:51:24.375-08:00From an objective viewpoint, the comment about Cha...From an objective viewpoint, the comment about Chamberlain on the sofa suggests nothing overtly sexual. And "Totally Convinced" without positive proof is laughable. The lengths that some people will go to vent their Freudian fantasies never fails to amaze me however much it tries to persist in amusing me - Coming, I think from a first cousin of Ophiuchos the Barrier God or what Auden called the Lord of Limit. <br /><br />By the way, what do you think of Ian Kershaw's masterly double-volume biography of Hitler? I have just ordered it today, having wanted to do so for quite some time during my Amazon spending spree.Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-65652380056122391532010-02-18T16:14:10.649-08:002010-02-18T16:14:10.649-08:00Thanks, Jenny.

I don't think there is any proof one way or the other, but in a great many of his full-length pictures his hands are cupped over his balls, suggesting a degree of vulnerability. And that is as much Freud as I do for one night. :-))Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-10078345126059435312010-02-18T04:32:54.103-08:002010-02-18T04:32:54.103-08:00Well, Eva was a daughter of the Weimar years, with...Well, Eva was a daughter of the Weimar years, with all the sexual freedom and experimentation that entailed (qv Cabaret). She may have had a questionable taste in men... as do most women who have physical relationships with politicians... but I doubt whether she gave up EVERYTHING for love.<br /><br />Thank you for writing this, it inspired me to start rereading the biography of one of my early heroines, Anita Berber.<br /><br />PS: is it true that AH only had one testicle?Jenny Swallowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044216861536488745noreply@blogger.com
