The Luxurious and Tragic Life of Marie Antoinette. From Royal Chambers to the Scaffold

Marie Antoinette went down in history as the most carefree queen of France, whose charm and grace were as undeniable and remarkable as her extravagance and recklessness. From this book, you will learn how the days and nights of the... young Dauphine, and later the queen, were spent — infatuated and passionate, tireless in her creativity for arranging festivities and amusements, full of passion and longing for love — a life that ended on the scaffold amidst the insulting shouts of a bloodthirsty crowd. Pierre Nezelof narrates the short but captivating life of the Austrian Archduchess from birth to her last moments with sincere admiration for her generosity and courage displayed in the face of death.
