Description

Discover An Amazing Travelogue!!! The author of the travelogue, ́Jackie Beyond the Myth of Camelot ́ is also the writer/producer of the PBS feature documentary ́Jackie Behind the Myth ́. The travels of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis are extraordinary as she immerses herself as a celebrated first lady into the cultures of foreign countries then privately as a literary editor. Her love of French culture, inspires journeys to Versailles where she commissioned the famous photography journal "Unseen Versailles." In South America, she spoke Spanish and created unique White House performances for Pablo Casals and the Bossa Nova. Jackie traveled to Egypt, India, Prague, Russia and China. Her extraordinary fascination with foreign cultures inspired many literary projects from biographies of Russia ́s Tsar Nicholas to a history of India ́s holistic medical tradition Ayurveda in "The Garden of Life." After Jackie transformed the White House into a magnificent stage for the performing arts she created a distinguished list of literary works by Andre Previn, Judith Jamison, George Plimpton, Louis Auchincloss, and dozens of other leaders in the arts. Many times Jackie would commissioned memoirs, provocative histories, and her deep knowledge of the performing arts was the inspiration for many of her books. The travelogue also explores her adventurous journeys to establish the International Center for Photography, save the Egyptian temples from the floods caused by the construction of the High Aswan Dam, preserve and restore Grand Central Terminal, and support Diana Vreeland ́s exhibtions at The Costume Museum. Jackie ́s career as a literary editor reveals that her greatest gift to America was a tremendous lifting of the American spirit through art, music, culture and dance.
