devenu au fil des ans un mythe. Ce livre retrace l’histoire de la deuxième et de la troisième génération. Henri Schneider (1840-1898) tient épatamment la route : il réarme la France à la demande du gouvernement, le canon de 75, c’est lui, pas une seule grève durant son règne, sept enfants de deux mariages. Eugène II (1898-1942), lui, se voit traiter d’être « atrabilaire » et « odieux » par François de Wendel. Cet industriel est pourtant passionné des arbres, ce Creusotin dans l’âme se marie à Paris – pis, il fait un mariage d’amour – ce père passionné se brouille avec ses fils. Dès le début du siècle, l’électricité bouscule la vapeur, le syndicalisme s’affirme face aux patrons ; après la première guerre mondiale, les jeunes générations repoussent sur un grand tas de morts. Comment transmettre et que transmettre dans ces conditions ? Une femme conteste à Eugène Schneider son autorité : sa propre belle-mère ! Après O dix-neuvième !

Par Wendy Holden, Patrizia Gucci. 2016
Patricia Gucci was born a secret: the love child whose birth could have spelled ruination for her father, Aldo Gucci.…
It was 1963, and the halcyon days for the "must-have" brand of Hollywood and European royalty. Patricia's mother gave birth in secret in London before she was smuggled back to Vatican City and hidden from the fashion world, the media, and the rest of the Gucci family. Aldo couldn't afford a public scandal, but he could not resist his feelings for Patricia's mother, Bruna, the paramour he first met when she worked for him as a shopgirl in Rome. Patricia Gucci charts her parents' untold love story, relying on her own childhood memories as well as an archive of love letters and interviews with her mother. She interweaves her parents' story with that of her own relationship with her father--from a little girl who remained a secret for eighteen months and wasn't publicly acknowledged for her first decade, through her rise to become Gucci's ambassador and Aldo's protégé, to the moment when his three sons, who betrayed him in a famous palace coup, were disinherited and Patricia--once considered the shame of Gucci--was made sole universal heir. 2016.
