Número de Páginas: 745

Heir. Prince. King. Discover the real Charles - our King - in the definitive biography from the bestselling author of Elizabeth the Queen 'Brilliant, startling. The royal biography everyone's talking about' Daily Mail _________ His destiny was to become King. But for 70 years, he was a Prince. From his declared heirdom aged three to his years spent fulfilling royal duty in support of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles has spent his entire life serving the nation. But there is still so much we don't know. In this fascinating exploration of his public and private lives, Sally Bedell Smith - the acclaimed, bestselling biographer of Elizabeth the Queen - has drawn extensively on her access to the Royal Family's inner circle to reveal a portrait of a misunderstood prince. Beginning with his lonely childhood, Smith details his intellectual quests, his entrepreneurial pursuits, and his love affairs, from the tragedy of his marriage to Diana to his eventual reunion with Camilla, as well as his relationship with the next generation of royals, including Will, Kate, Harry, and his beloved grandchildren.

Migrating Memories

Autor: James Koranyi

Número de Páginas: 327

Romanian Germans, mainly from the Banat and Transylvania, have occupied a place at the very heart of major events in Europe in the twentieth century yet their history is largely unknown. This east-central European minority negotiated their standing in a difficult new European order after 1918, changing from uneasy supporters of Romania, to zealous Nazis, tepid Communists, and conciliatory Europeans. Migrating Memories is the first comprehensive study in English of Romanian Germans and follows their stories as they move across borders and between regimes, revealing a very European experience of migration, minorities, and memories in modern Europe. After 1945, Romanian Germans struggled to make sense of their lives during the Cold War at a time when the community began to fracture and fragment. The Revolutions of 1989 seemed to mark the end of the German community in Romania, but instead Romanian Germans repositioned themselves as transnational European bridge-builders, staking out new claims in a fast-changing world.

It tells of the tragedy...

Bosnian Chronicle, Or, The Days of the Consuls

Autor: Ivo Andrić

Número de Páginas: 456

Set in the provincial town of Travnik, then part of the Ottoman Empire, Bosnian Chronicle tells of the struggle for supremacy in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider. The era is Napoleonic and the novel, both in its historical scope and in its psychological subtlety, is Tolstoyan. Told from the viewpoint of the French consul, a rationalist who struggles to make sense of Balkan life, the novel presents Ottoman viziers, foreign visitors and Austrian plenipotentiaries, all consumed by an endless game of diplomacy and double-dealing. Courtly and expansive face-to-face, they brood and scheme behind closed doors. As they have for centuries, the Bosnians themselves observe and endure the machinations of the greater powers that vie, futilely, to absorb them. Ivo Andric's masterwork is imbued with the richness and complexity of a region that has brought so much tragedy to our century and known so little peace.
