Elizabeth - John Guy

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

• History has pictured Elizabeth I as Gloriana, an icon of strength and power -and has focused on the early years of her reign.
• But in 1583, when Elizabeth is fifty, there is relentless plotting among her courtiers -and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots.
• We have not, until now, had the full picture.
• This gripping and vivid portrait of her life and times -often told in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) -reveals a woman who was insecure, human ('You know I am no morning woman'), and unpopular even with the men who fought for her.
• This is the real Elizabeth, for the first time.
