{"product_id":"affairs-valentino-evelyn-zumaya-floris-9798349652165","title":"Affairs Valentino: Legacy Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over a century, Rudolph Valentino's life and death have magnetized myth, rumor, gatekeepers and entire subcultures devoted to shaping, or suppressing, the truth. First published in 2011, \u003cem\u003e Affairs Valentino\u003c\/em\u003e broke that monopoly. Drawing on rare documents, probate case files, letters and eyewitness testimony, Evelyn Zumaya Floris revealed the contested world surrounding Hollywood's most enigmatic icon and the enduring struggle to control his legacy. This \u003cem\u003eLegacy Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive author-prepared version of the book which was attacked, censored, denounced and ultimately made iconic by the very forces that tried to stop it. Revised, reorganized and meticulously indexed, it restores sources long hidden, incorporates significant archival discoveries and provides updated commentary and context drawn from more than two decades of research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo other biography of Valentino presents this level of documentation or exposes, with clarity, the real history behind Valentino's posthumous battles: the legal wars, the family conflicts, the lost business manager's accounts, the vanished probate files and the suppression of evidence by modern collectors. In charting the journey of Valentino's legacy, Zumaya Floris also documents her own twenty-year experience confronting a hostile, cult of self-appointed gatekeepers determined to silence the record. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart biography, part historical investigation, part cultural autopsy, \u003cem\u003eAffairs Valentino - Legacy Edition\u003c\/em\u003e stands as both a work of scholarship and a testament to the resilience of truth. This is the Valentino story restored, unredacted and fully illuminated by the archives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evelyn Zumaya Floris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798349652165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sovereign ACT Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.77d","brand":"Evelyn Zumaya Floris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460368085247,"sku":"9798349652165","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ba59e9f-3730-4f15-a458-9a113bdeafb3.jpg?v=1777414287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/affairs-valentino-evelyn-zumaya-floris-9798349652165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
