Features: Because human nature is the same, we are all one, and the desire and pursuit of togetherness is called love! This book reveals the love story of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and soprano Maria Callas. In the summer of 1959, the sleek white hull of the Christina was the ruler of the harbor, moored at the main berth on the left side of the entrance. At night, the lights on the masts formed a string of diamonds, sparkling brilliantly under the night sky. Their story begins there. She was once an adored goddess, but now, she only wanted to be a woman, to spend her life with him, until he walked down the aisle with the widow of the President. He brought nothing with him, leaving his vast wealth behind, carrying only the last gift she gave him—the red HERME shawl. With a body ravaged by illness, he showed his manly pride one last time: he insisted on walking unassisted, without bodyguards, through the row of reporters under the dazzling flashlights, lifting his head like a warrior. She bent down to kiss him goodbye, and he struggled to tell her he loved her and that he had prepared his farewell words for when she came. As she turned to leave, she knew she would never see him again.
