Natalie Robins

    Natalie Robins se zaměřuje na zkoumání hranic svobody projevu a etických dilemat v medicíně. Její literární přístup spočívá v pečlivém bádání a reportážním stylu, kterým odhaluje složité příběhy o kontroverzních tématech. Prostřednictvím svých děl se Robins snaží osvětlit skryté mechanismy moci a dopady rozhodnutí na jednotlivce. Její práce vyznačuje hluboký zájem o sociální spravedlnost a ochranu občanských svobod.

    Savage Grace
    Copeland's Cure
    • A spellbinding tale of money and madness, incest and matricide, Savage Grace is the saga of Brooks and Barbara Baekeland -- beautiful, rich, worldly -- and their handsome, gentle son, Tony. Alternately neglected and smothered by his parents, he was finally driven to destroy the whole family in a violent chain of events. Savage Grace unfolds against a glamorous international background (New York, London, Paris, Italy, Spain); features a nonpareil cast of characters (including Salvador Dalí, James Jones, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, and European nobility); and tells the doomed Baekelands' story through remarkably candid interviews, private letters, and diaries, not to mention confidential hospital, State Department, and prison documents. A true-crime classic, it exposes the envied lives of the rich and beautiful, and brilliantly illuminates the darkest corners of the American Dream.
