Story
Josephine's life story was as turbulent as the age, an era of revolution and social upheaval, of the guillotine and of frenzied hedonism. With telling psychological depth and compelling literary grace, Carolly Erickson brings the complex, charming, ever resilient Josephine to life in this memorable portrait, one that carries the reader from the sensual richness of her childhood in the tropics to her final lonely days at Malmaison.

Story
From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles, Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was born into royalty in 1755 and married the future king of France at age 15. By 21, she ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle of masquerade balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for excess ruffled many feathers. The poor people of France blamed Marie Antoinette for their poverty. Her spending helped incite the French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite literally lost her head because of it.

Story
Une biographie consacrée à la femme qui incarne l'histoire contemporaine du Royaume-Uni. À l'inverse de la médiatisation que connaissent les familles royales du continent, la vie quotidienne de la reine d'Angleterre reste protégée, voire secrète. Elle n'a jamais donné d'interview à la presse. Aucun de ses biographes, même les plus sérieux, n'a eu accès à ses archives personnelles. Faire parler d'elle le moins possible : tel est le leitmotiv de la cour, qui se ferme à toutes les questions des journalistes.

Story
Louis XVI is one of the most famous kings of France, but for reasons he would have much rather avoided. Coming of age in the wake of the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and his father, Louis XV, Louis XVI initially intended to be one of France's most enlightened kings. Instead, he was destined to be the only French king ever executed. Indeed, it is his death and his role in fomenting the French Revolution (along with his infamous queen, Marie Antoinette) that continue to play the central role in Louis XVI's legacy.

Story
King Philip VI was the first French King of the famous House Valois, and he inherited France at the height of its power. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t remain that way for long. His fierce rivalry with King Edward of England destabilized the region, threw France into turmoil, and launched one of Europe's most infamous wars: The Hundred Years’ War. Originally born into minor nobility, Philip was never considered to one day be king. The life journey of Philip VI, the first king of House Valois, is a truly fascinating story filled with unsuspecting inheritance.

À sa parution en 1992, cet ouvrage créa une véritable onde de choc : personne n'aurait pu imaginer que le sourire de la princesse adulée dissimulait un si profond mal-être. Diana y révélait les détails de sa vie de couple, sa boulimie, ses tentatives de suicide, l'existence de Camilla, ses relations difficiles avec les membres de la famille royale, mais aussi ses bonheurs de mère et son souhait de vivre enfin une existence conforme à ses désirs, loin des photographes.

In French history, this is truer of Marie Antoinette than just about everyone else. Nearly 220 years after she was put to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette is more famous than ever, fairly or unfairly coming to epitomize royalty and everything that was wrong with it.
