The Habsburgs: Embodying Empire
ISBN: 9780140236347 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is populated by such unforgettable figures as mad Queen Juana, progressing through Spain with her husband s decaying body; the heroically fertile Maria Theresa, and the quixotic Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico."
