An unforgettable literary masterpiece written over 200 years ago by a remarkable woman during the struggle and fall of Europe's first attempt at a constitutional democracy. A coming-of-age story, love drama, and historical saga all in one, it unfolds more like a novel than an authentic memoir. Despite its epoch, the highs and lows of Countess Anna's journey reverberate with timeless issues that still affect us all today. This courageous young woman wrote down extraordinarily visceral details of the horrendous experiences she was living through between 1791 and 1795

Karel IV. měl pohnutý život. Dětství strávil na pařížském dvoře, později se ocitl na italských bojištích, jeho cesta na trůn nebyla lehká a musel vzdorovat protivníkům i po dobu své vlády. Vládl v nesmírně složité době, kdy proti sobě neustále stály různé zájmy, denně musel činit nelehká, a přitom zásadní rozhodnutí. František Kožík popisuje panovníkův vztah k českým zemím, přibližuje zákulisí jeho diplomatických jednání s evropskými vládci, zabývá se i pozadím jeho čtyř sňatků.

Filippo ed Elisabetta. Due vite, una coppia. Una storia d’amore che s’intreccia con la storia del Novecento e l’attualità, iniziata nell’estate del 1939 quando Elisabetta aveva tredici anni e Filippo, nato principe di Grecia e Danimarca, diciotto. Era un cadetto navale, ma anche il nipote di Lord Louis Mountbatten. Un amore celebrato nella Londra post bellica con il Royal Wedding del 1947. Un uomo che per seguire il cuore ha rinunciato a molto, dato battaglia all’establishment, cercato con tenacia un ruolo. Grazie a Filippo, la «Firm» dei Windsor si è aperta al mondo, al suo tempo.

Esta foi uma das imagens mais tocantes do século XX: dois jovens, dois príncipes, caminhando atrás do caixão da mãe, enquanto o mundo acompanhava os eventos com tristeza – e horror. Conforme Diana, a Princesa de Gales, era sepultada, bilhões de pessoas se perguntavam como se sentiam, e o que pensavam, os príncipes – e como a vida deles iria se desenrolar a partir daquele momento. Para Harry, esta é enfim a sua história.

The story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn is one of the most remarkable in history: a long courtship followed by a shotgun wedding and then a coronation, ending just short of three years later when a husband’s passion turned to such hatred that he simply wanted his wife gone. Missing from most accounts is how the turbulent nature of Anne and Henry’s relationship was tied almost completely to the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of British and European history. This was a marriage that convulsed not just a nation, but a whole continent.

Ed Owens has won for himself key roles as a historian of the monarchy and as a royal commentator, but one who is meticulously objective in his judgements. Nothing seems certain. Will the monarchy survive with its continuing echoes of an Imperial past? Will young people - disenchanted with the political status quo - find the ritual and practice of the monarchy quite so mesmerising as previous generations have done? What might a republican Britain look like?

Elisabetta II è, è stata, e verosimilmente resterà, la regina dei record. È il sovrano che ha viaggiato più di tutti coloro che, prima di lei, hanno indossato una corona. È stata la prima regina a comparire in televisione e anche la prima a dover affrontare una serie di scandali che hanno messo a dura prova la sua pazienza e la sopravvivenza stessa della monarchia. E il 6 febbraio ne ha raggiunto un altro: il Giubileo di Platino, 70 anni seduta sul trono inglese come mai nessuno nella Storia.

Weimar, 1945. Poco después de la liberación del campo de concentración de Buchenwald, siete hombres pertenecientes a la Regia Marina Italiana se adentran en el cementerio de la ciudad y se dirigen hacia una sórdida explanada cubierta de estacas numeradas. Una vez allí se sitúan delante de la que tanto trabajo y suerte, a partes iguales, les ha costado encontrar: la número 262, donde, según el registro, reposan los restos de una unbekannte Frau («mujer desconocida»). Al arrancarla, observan el nombre de pila que ha estado oculto hasta entonces y que les confirma el gran valor de su misión.

The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword. If princes fought for their succession to crowns, the princesses were traded—usually by their mothers—to strangers for political power without the bloodshed.

Born on Christmas Day, 1936, Princess Alexandra's birth was almost overshadowed by the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII. Yet public affection for this new addition to the Royal Family has only grown during a lifetime of dedicated royal service. In this biography, Helen Cathcart chronicles the first thirty years of Princess Alexandra's life, from the tragic death of her father when she was just five years old to her wartime childhood at Badminton living with her grandmother Queen Mary.
