Grâce à une enquête minutieuse dans les archives du règne de Louis II de Bavière, Jean des Cars réussit à percer la personnalité de ce roi longtemps victime d'une réputation injustifiée. Il a édifié des châteaux fantastiques qui exaltent l'éthique de la chevalerie médiévale et le génie de la France du Grand Siècle. Il a sauvé du désespoir et de la faillite Richard Wagner en imposant son œuvre, mais fut finalement contraint d'exiler le musicien au comportement excessivement intéressé.

L'8 settembre 2022, a pochi mesi dalle celebrazioni per il Giubileo di Platino, si è spenta a novantasei anni tra le mura del castello di Balmoral in Scozia Elisabetta II, l'ultima grande regina. Perché "l'ultima"? Perché dopo di lei verranno tre re. Perché nessun monarca britannico ha regnato più a lungo. E perché ci ha accompagnato dal primo dopoguerra fino alla rivoluzione digitale, diventando una presenza costante per almeno tre generazioni, non soltanto nella vita dei propri sudditi ma del mondo intero.

Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.

Il lunghissimo regno di Elisabetta II è la storia enigmatica di una donna timida e inavvicinabile che dell'accettazione del proprio destino, dell'appassionata difesa della corona, ha fatto la suprema ragione di vita e uno schermo impenetrabile. Con un'eccezione: la fotografia, che l'ha accompagnata nel suo lungo viaggio di sovrana e nell'iconografia del secolo. L'unico palcoscenico in cui The Queen, cedendo anche solo per pochi minuti alle leggi universali della luce e alle esigenze pratiche di un ritrattista, si è davvero rivelata.
