Eine Liebe für den Frieden - Bertha von Suttner und Alfred Nobel

OPIS

An unusual woman, a dramatic life: Bertha von Suttner never had it easy. Although she was born as Countess Kinsky and was highly educated, she and her family do not enjoy a good reputation. At the age of 30 she worked as a teacher in the house of Baron von Suttner. When Bertha and Arthur, the seven years younger son, fall in love, it is a scandal for the family. The relationship is torn apart and in 1876 Bertha hastily placed as a private secretary to the eccentric chemist Alfred Nobel in Paris. An encounter that will not only change both lives, but the world. Bertha gets along with the solitary inventor straight away, both are fascinated by each other. They have endless conversations, including about his groundbreaking invention: dynamite. But before Nobel proposes to the headstrong Bertha, Arthur bursts into her life again, disinherited and rejected, but Bertha runs off with him and marries him.
