Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History
ISBN: 9780156027618 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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 (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.

Eminent Victorians: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Arnold, General Gordon
ISBN: 9781463714833 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Now re-formatted and typeset for clarity. Nominated as one of the "All-time Top 100 Non-Fiction Books" by the UK Guardian newspaper in 2011. Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four 'eminent Victorians' caused uproar when the book was published in 1918. Instead of being laudatory or jingoistic - like many biographies up to that time - Strachey pulled no punches in describing England's adored heroes; his wit, insight and engaging narratives thrilled as well as shocked his contemporaries. Debunking Church, Public School and Empire, his portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale,...

ISBN: 9788377797938 / Polski / twarda / 2022 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Czy królowa Wiktoria była wybitna? 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...

ISBN: 9781548112325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On Modern Library's list of 100 Best Non-Fiction books, "Eminent Victorians" marked an epoch in the art of biography; it also helped to crack the old myths of high Victorianism and to usher in a new spirit by which chauvinism, hypocrisy and the stiff upper lip were debunked. In it, Strachey cleverly exposes the self-seeking ambitions of Cardinal Manning and the manipulative, neurotic Florence Nightingale; and in his essays on Dr Arnold and General Gordon, his quarries are not only his subjects but also the public-school system and the whole structure of nineteenth-century liberal values.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Few books have had such an impact on their own generation as did Eminent Victorians, which exposed the hypocrisy of the Victorian era by deflating the legends surrounding four of its most notable figures.

Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781514229170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.
