Those Fabulous Greeks: Onassis, Niarchos, and Livanos.

First edition of Lilly's third book. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. From the library of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with the bookplate from the her Sotheby’s sale of the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to the front free endpaper. Jacqueline Kennedy’s romantic relationship with Aristotle Onassis began several years after they first met, although they were acquainted earlier. They had known each other socially since the late 1950s, when Jackie’s late husband, President John F. Kennedy, was in office, but their personal relationship grew closer in 1966, largely facilitated by Jackie’s sister, Lee Radziwill, who had been romantically involved with Onassis at the time. The connection between Jackie and Onassis became more significant following a period of intense personal loss for Jackie. In August 1963, the death of her infant son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, followed by the assassination of her husband, John F. Kennedy, in November 1963, left Jackie emotionally vulnerable. During this time, she reportedly sought emotional support from Onassis. After the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968, Jackie’s grief intensified, and her relationship with Onassis became more public, culminating in their marriage on October 20, 1968. At the time, Jackie was 39 years old, and Onassis, a wealthy Greek shipping magnate, was a man of international renown. Their union marked a significant chapter in Jackie’s life, transitioning from the widow of a president to the wife of one of the wealthiest and most famous men in the world. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. An exceptional association.
