Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781548112325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.

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...

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: 9780199555017 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
