Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781515084594 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we know too much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of the historian--ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, our fathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated so vast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would be submerged by it, and the perspicacity of a Gibbon would quail before it.

Czy raczej Imperium Brytyjskie w dobie swojej potęgi i chwały potrzebowało takiej królowej?Na pewno była nietuzinkowa, czasem gubiła się w zderzeniu z nowymi prądami, czasem je hamowała, a niekiedy łagodnie akceptowała. Zawsze jednak przyświecała jej myśl nadrzędna wielkość i przyszłość kraju.Od najmłodszych lat była przygotowywana do roli królowej, właściwie nie znała innego życia niż monarsze, ze sztywną etykietą i przypisanymi rolami. Do tego wszczepiona przez męża pracowitość i rzetelność na całe 60 lat panowania...

Queen Victoria
ISBN: 9781514191743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On November 6, 1817, died the Princess Charlotte, only child of the Prince Regent, and heir to the crown of England. Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious, and vehement, she had always longed for liberty; and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quarrels, had been early separated from her disreputable and eccentric mother, and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange; she, at first, acquiesced; but, suddenly falling in...

ISBN: 9780199555017 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art.

Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four "eminent Victorians" dropped an explosive charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918. It ushered in the modern biography and raised the genre to... Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art.

Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History
ISBN: 9780156027618 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the most famous and baffling romances in history-between Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex-began in May of 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was just shy of twenty. Their relationship continued until 1601, when the Earl of Essex was beheaded for treason. And, in a succession of brilliant scenes, Strachey portrays the Queen's and the Earl's compelling attraction for on another, their impassioned disagreements, and their mutual contest for power, which led to a final, tragic confrontation. Here we also have superb portraits of influential people of the...

Queen Victoria
ISBN: 9781515035435 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Queen Victoria died in 1901, she had ruled for nearly sixty-four years. She was a mother of nine and grandmother of forty-two and the matriarch of royal Europe through her children's marriages. To many, Queen Victoria is a ruler shrouded in myth and mystique, an aging, stiff widow paraded as the figurehead to an all-male imperial enterprise. But in truth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch was one of the most passionate, expressive, humorous and unconventional women who ever lived, and the story of her life continues to fascinate.
