Marie Antoinette, französische Königin zur Zeit der Revolution: Leben und Werk in einer Kurzbiografie! Alles, was man wissen muss, kurz und knapp.

In the fall of 1947, an eighty-four-year-old woman receives an extraordinary invitation. Within is the end of a long journey seeking vindication for a husband who gave his life to the service of the Royal Navy and received, in return, ingratitude. Thus begins the story of Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. Victoria, the eldest daughter of Princess Alice and Prince Ludwig of Hesse, was born in April 1863.

Born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth, the Honorable Diana Frances Spencer attained wealth, power, and title with her marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales. But her ultimate triumph owed nothing to those circumstances and everything to her inner qualities: to an innate ability to understand and connect with ordinary people, especially the desperately sick, the rejected, the "unloved."

Their love was both passionate and full of hope, yet ultimately hopeless. This is the true story of the love between a man and a woman — a romance doomed from the start — besieged by media and public opinion on the world stage. The woman was Diana, the Princess of Wales; the man was Captain James Hewitt. Their love affair lasted for nearly five years and is a story of support, encouragement, and love — but alas, one that didn' t result in a fairy tale ending.

Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources, Bassett reveals her keen sense of moderation and tolerance, innovative ideas on free trade and finance, and studied reluctance to resort to policies of territorial expansion.

Екатерина II — одна из самых ярких фигур эпохи Просвещения. Маленькая принцесса Фике стала самой русской из немецких правителей России и последней самодержавной императрицей в ее истории.
