Ilustration As Books Marie Stuart

Reine d'Ecosse à l'âge de six jours, en 1542, puis reine de France à dix-sept ans par son mariage avec François II, Marie Stuart est un des personnages les plus romanesques de l'histoire. Veuve en 1560, elle rentre en Ecosse et épouse lord Darnley. Déçue par ce mariage, elle devient la maîtresse du comte de Bothwell. Lorsque ce dernier assassine Darnley, l'horreur est telle qu'elle doit se réfugier auprès de sa rivale, Elisabeth 1re reine d'Angleterre. Celle-ci la retiendra vingt ans captive, avant de la faire condamner à mort. Son courage devant le supplice impressionnera les témoins, au point de métamorphoser celle que l'on disait une criminelle en une martyre de la foi catholique... Sur cette figure fascinante et controversée de l'histoire britannique, le biographe de Marie-Antoinette et romancier de Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme a mené une enquête rigoureuse, se livrant à une critique serrée des documents et des témoignages. Ce récit passionné nous la restitue avec ses ombres et ses lumières, ses faiblesses et sa grandeur.

Criticism Epithetical Books Marie Stuart

Very detailed, well researched (before the Internet) and beautifully written.

This is an excellent example of how a biographer is influenced by his culture. It was published in 1935, pre-dating not just modern feminism but the earliest stirrings of change in the role of women during WWII. "In spite of their superlative traits these two women remained women throughout, and were unable to overcome the weaknesses inherent in their sex," he says of Elizabeth I and Mary. "If..two kings had been faced by the same circumstances, they would have come to a firmer decision,

I'm half way through my second Stefan Zweig book. I don't find this kind of writing anymore. The author gives his readers the gift of time and patience so we can start to feel what it must have been like at that point in history. You become emotionally involved with the era and can better understand Zweig's characters as real people, giving you an insight we aren't normally privy to in modern writing.Finished! Just loved it....

At school, teachers used to ask the lesson in the sequence not random, so if you just answered it, you could take a breath and not study next 4-5 chapters.That is why I did not know anything about the history of the mid-16th century.Passionless and cold events written in a history book would spoil the drama behind those facts.Zweig allows the reader to go through the psychology of actions in the novel. By condemning or praising, regretting or glorifying Zweig reproduces any historical image in

I don`t know a lot about the history of a England so I can`t actually comment on that aspect of the book: it might be more or less accurate. However, if it`s only for the smooth but complex style of Zweig, I still enjoyed the story!

I really enjoyed the book. It's so well written and the Icelandic translation is a pure joy, even though there were some spelling mistakes not fixed. However, these two women are quite the bitches - can I say that in a review? I did cheer for Maria how could I not but sometimes it's really hard to like her. She really was her own worst enemy. Although it seems that the main difference between the cousins was that one of them had really loyal advisors and the other one, well, none really.

Zweig never comes down on the side of Mary Stuart or Queen Elizabeth I in the tragic story of their relationship. He does a good job of showing how Mary, actually a strong woman who should have ruled Scotland well, put herself into danger by her actions.Mary was born Queen of Scotland. Her father died while her mother was giving birth. She was sent to be the consort of the young heir to the French throne when she was six, so grew up in the court of absolute monarchy, riotous living, and excess
