Marie Antoinette. Mary Stuart

Stefan Zweig is a classic of Austrian literature, author of magnificent psychological novellas and biographical novels translated into all languages of the world. A historical novel is rarely both truthful and engaging at the same time. Such exceptions include the... works of Stefan Zweig, a thoughtful, honest historian, a subtle psychologist, and a great storyteller. This edition includes perhaps his most brilliant biographical novels dedicated to two queens: Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, and Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. They lived in such different times, they differed in tastes and characters; however, their vibrant lives were full of secrets and mysteries, and the tragic ending of their destinies elevates the story of the two queens to the scale of great dramatic works.
