                                 Edward and Wallis

    In April 1987 TV, radio and telegraph were focused on the single auction in Ge-
neva. Switzerland, where three hundred people from Austria, Sweden, Switzerland,
Great Britain, Spain and some other countries of the world came. They were kings,
presidents, film stars, businessmen. The auction did not sell the usual things — pic-
tures, clocks, early Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers and other old and expensive
apparatuses, but the things a man, called Edward, gave a woman called Wallis.
    Just in a few hours ear-rings and bracelets of gold and minerals of different de-
sign were sold for $50,000,000. That sum was much more than the real cost of the
things bought for Wallis.
    What put those things in the focus of TV, radio and telegraph? What mysterious
problem did they hold?
    Edward and Wallis is not a simple two-word phrase, but a long era of true love. In
their long lifetime the world saw great discoveries in biology and physiology, and re-
ceived new ideas about atoms and molecules, acted in the wars and studied the phi-
losophy of peace.
    Edward was born in 1894. 1-lis father was King George V, and his mother was
Queen Mary. After a year at Oxford University, Edward went to fight in the First
World War. He saw the death from gases on the front line in Belgium, he decided to
make the world a better place. For that he had to learn the world and its people — the
friends and enemies of Britain.
    Cambridge, London, Edinburgh were his home, and he knew its principles well.
So, in 1920 he left England and visited 45 different countries. Everywhere he got out
of his car, spoke with the people and shook their hands, which was not in the tradition
of kings. Very soon Edward became famous in Vienna and Zurich, Stockholm and
Warsaw, Madrid and Brussels, west and east, north and south.
    In the autumn of 1930 Edward went to some friends in England to fide horses.
But on that day the temperature was unusually very low, and he decided to stay in the
house for lunch. 'That lunch he never forgot. He saw Wallis.
    Theirs was a love story that shook the world. The man of the highest official posi-
tion and the wrong woman, American and married. In 1936 he became Edward VIII,
King of Great Britain, King of Australia, and King of 40 other countries, and he had
to do the theorem of his life: to be a king, or to love and to be loved and to leave his
country. The alternative was not easy, but Wallis was his prize, and he chose her.
