Krátky popis
Out of the thrilling and tempestuous eighteenth century comes the
sweeping family saga of beautiful Maria Theresa, a sovereign of
extraordinary strength and vision, the only woman ever to inherit
and rule the vast Habsburg empire in her own name, and three of her
remarkable daughters: lovely, talented Maria Christina,
governor-general of the Austrian Netherlands, spirited Maria
Carolina, the resolute queen of Naples, and the youngest, Marie
Antoinette, the glamorous, tragic queen of France, perhaps the most
famous princess in history. Unfolding against an irresistible
backdrop of brilliant courts from Vienna to Versailles, embracing
the exotic lure of Naples and Sicily, this epic history of Maria
Theresa and her daughters is a tour de force of desire, adventure,
ambition, treachery, sorrow, and glory. Each of these women's lives
was packed with passion and heart-stopping suspense.Maria Theresa
inherited her father's thrones at the age of twenty-three and was
immediately attacked on all sides by foreign powers confident that
a woman would to be too weak to defend herself. Maria Christina, a
gifted artist, who alone among her sisters succeeded in marrying
for love, would face the same dangers that destroyed the monarchy
in France. Resourceful Maria Carolina would usher in the golden age
of Naples only to then face the deadly whirlwind of Napoleon.And,
finally, Marie Antoinette, the doomed queen whose stylish excesses
and captivating notoriety have masked the truth about her husband
and herself for two hundred and fifty years.
