"As Maureen Quilligan wrote in the New York Times Book Review of The First Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn ""was a real victim of the sexual scandals her brilliant daughter escaped, and a subject Ms. Erickson's sensitivity to sexual and political nuance should well serve."" Indeed, Carolly Erickson could have chosen no more fascinating and appropriate a subject. Alluring and profoundly enigmatic, Anne Boleyn has eluded the grasp of historians for centuries. Through her extraordinarily vivid re-creation of this most tragic chapter in all Tudor History, Carrolly Erickson gives us unprecedented insight into the singuarlity of Anne Boleyn's life, the dark and overwhelming forces that shaped her errant destiny, and the rare, tumultuous times in which she lived." Good Reads "Distinguished historian Carolly Erickson is the author of The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette, The First Elizabeth, Great Catherine, Alexandra and many other prize-winning works of fiction and nonfiction. She lives in Hawaii." Good Reads.

"Françoise Chandernagor has written the fictionalized memoirs of Françoise d'Aubigné, known to history as Madame de Maintenon, the morganatic second wife of Louis XIV. Using a wide variety of sources, but chiefly the surviving correspondence of Mme. de Maintenon, Chandernagor has fashioned a vivid and convincing account of one woman's rise to the top, in this case the very top, of the 17th Century French social heap. Among the most appealing features of this book (call it a novel for convenience sake, or a semi-fictional autobiography) one must count the voice of the narrator. It is a firm and measured voice, which carries the force of hard-won experience, gained in a variety of exotic locales, ranging from the French provincial prison where her feckless father was confined during her earliest days, to the Caribbean island wilderness where she spent her formative years, and followed by the Bohemian circles in Paris she presided over as wife to the famed but severely crippled author, Scarron. Eventually she arrived at the opulent court of Versailles (easily the most menacing of all her surroundings, so far as her reputation was concerned) as governess to some of the king's out-of-wedlock children, but one where she ultimately acquired the lofty though shadowy position of France's ""unofficial queen"" for thirty years. Given that her marriage to the king could never be publicly acknowledged, owing to her status as a commoner by birth (she was "ennobled" only by fiat of the king), Madame de Maintenon could never presume to emulate the exalted rank of Louis' first wife, the blue-blooded Marie-Thèrese of Spain, whom he had married for dynastic reasons. Louis' marriage to Françoise d'Aubigné, "the widow Scarron," was a love match, no doubt, but not one which, as this novel makes clear, brought his second wife contentment or peace of mind, however much it fulfilled her desire to rise above the meanness of her origins. And with the king's death, Madame de Maintenom "vanished from the sight of men, and from their memories," or so she died believing. Readers who know of Madame de Maintenon, primarily through the memoirs of the Duc de Saint-Simon (excellently translated by Sanche de Gramont in his anthology of the Duke's writings, "The Age of Magnificence"), will be startled by the difference between the way she is portrayed in the actual memoirs of Saint-Simon and the fictionalized ones written by Chandernagor. Whereas in Saint-Simon, she is presented as a clever, scheming woman who longs to wield power through her influence over the king, in Chandernagor, Madame de Maintenon is a wise but circumspect woman with a deep ambivalence toward political power. True, she does try to steer the king in the direction she thinks best for France, chiefly by shielding him from what she considers unworthy counselors and proposing he name those she believes will be a positive force, but her influence is far more subtle and her purposes much less self-serving than those Saint-Simon attributes to her. In the end, it becomes a case of "he said/she said" (He being the Duke, and she, Chandernagor, speaking through her character.) So whom are we to believe? In the Duke's favor it must be said that he lived at the time of the morganatic marriage between king and commoner, and knew both of them quite intimately. On the other hand, it is widely acknowledged that the Duc de Saint-Simon can not be relied upon for objectivity, especially concerning those persons he held a grudge against. Madame de Maintenon was one such person." Good Reads.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Love is the last thing on Jack Harrington's mind when he sets out to meet Andi Walsh's flight. Recently back to work after spending more than a year tending to his comatose wife, Jack is focused on getting through each day and caring for his three daughters. However, the moment he sets eyes on Andrea Walsh, the interior designer who has come to decorate the hotel his company is building in Newport, Rhode Island, Jack begins to wonder if Andi might be his second chance. After a disastrous marriage, Andi, single mom to a hearing-impaired son, isn't exactly looking for love, either, but that's what she finds with Jack. The two embark on a long-distance relationship fraught with challenges as they balance the needs of their children and dueling careers while Jack continues to care for his wife, Clare. Just when Jack thinks his life is once again settled, he is confronted with a new challenge that tests him in ways he never could've imagined, leaving him to wonder if 'happily ever after' is in the cards for him.'This isn't your typical romance where you're positive you're going to get the happy ending you were hoping for at the beginning.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. ONE OF FOUR KNOWN COPIES ON PAPIER DE CHINE. A RARA AVIS OF BIBLIOPHILIA. Paris: Furne et Cie., 1839[-1840]. First printing. Octavo (10 1/4" x 6 5/16", 260mm x 160mm). Half-title, steel-engraved frontispiece portrait of the infant Napoleon and 80 wood-engraved plates and vignettes throughout by Raffet. Bound in contemporary quarter blue calf over marbled boards. On the spine, scrollwork gilt surmounted by a Napoleonic eagle gilt. Author and title gilt. Marbled end-papers. Salmon silk marking-ribbon. A bit rubbed at the extremities. First gathering a little loose. Sporadic mild foxing. Leather ex-libris of Aimé Laurent to the recto of the first free end-paper. Typed bookseller's description laid in. Jacques Marquet de Montbreton, baron de Norvins (1769-1854) is remembered principally as a chronicler of the Revolution and Empire, though he was himself a politician. His political tendencies landed him in prison (La Force), and a personal request made by Madame de Staël to Napoleon freed him; he was thereafter loyal. The resultant work is decidedly biased, but easily surpasses other efforts of the period both for Norvins's clear style and for the fine illustrations of Raffet. Carteret calls the work a "tête du colonne du XIXe siècle" and other bibliographers concur. The distinction of the work is amplified in examples on papier de chine, a European paper made in homage to the smooth papers of China. It is distinguished by its grayish tinge and has long been prized for printers; Rembrandt held it in very high esteem. Carteret lists sale records for the work; in 1912 he indicates two copies: an ordinary copy (at the Legrand sale) for 505 francs, and a papier de chine copy (L. de Montgermont sale) for 6,020 francs (nearly twelve times more). Aimé Laurent (Laurent Meeûs) was a prolific Belgian collector. Purchased at the Jacques Levy sale, Sotheby's, 20th April 2012, lot 42. Levy's collection was broad, but had a special strength in fine illustrated French books such at the present item. Carteret 439-444.
