Maximiliano. Un emperador en el Cerro de las Campanas nos presenta la vida de aquel austriaco loco, viajero incansable, dilapidador en nombre de nobles causas, amante de la naturaleza y fanático del mar que dejó una profunda huella a su paso por tierras mexicanas. Su imperio fue breve y finalizó de forma trágica; sin embargo, dejó un amplio legado en cuanto a leyes, especialmente a favor de los derechos sociales, la arquitectura y el apoyo a las áreas del campo y la ciencia.

Isabel II del Reino Unido: LA REINA.

Aunque probablemente haya sido la mujer más famosa del mundo y su vida se ha llevado a la pantalla —últimamente en la exitosa serie The Crown—, la verdadera historia de Isabel II no siempre ha sido bien explicada. Más bien lo contrario.

Esta biografía, la primera gran obra en castellano de la reina de Inglaterra, explica la trastienda del poder en Buckingham y cómo una muchachita tímida, sin especial formación ni carisma, llegó a convertirse en un icono indiscutible, un objeto de reverencia...

She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly—except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story—starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher—with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

Focusing purely on Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with television, this book shows how she was ahead of the game in helping to change the face of British television from the outset of her reign in 1953 when she let the cameras into Westminster Abbey. The queen embraced television at a time when Winston Churchill and her government advisors recommended that she should keep them out--on the grounds that the cameras would destroy her royal mystique--right through the 1950s, which was Britain’s television decade.

Als bekannt wird, dass Prinz Harry eine amerikanische Schauspielerin kennengelernt hat, löst das einen internationalen Medienrummel aus. Vor einem internationalen Publikum geben er und Meghan ihre Verlobung bekannt, richten eine glanzvolle Hochzeit aus und bringen ihren ersten Sohn Archie zur Welt. Die Journalisten Omid Scobie und Carolyn Durand gehören zu einem Kreis von ausgewählten Reportern, die direkten Zugang zur britischen Königsfamilie haben und das Paar kennen wie nur wenige Außenstehende.

Loyal sister and friend to Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret grew up in the public gaze and was one of the most-discussed women in the world. But what was early life like for the younger sibling of the future monarch? And what role did she carve for herself within the Royal Family?

Years ago, archaeologists excavating near Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman treasures, among them a bowl depicting a woman with thick, curly hair and sporting an elephant-scalp headdress. For decades, theories circulated about her identity―until, at last, she was ascertained to be Cleopatra Selene, the only surviving daughter of Roman Triumvir Marc Antony and Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII. Using this discovery as her starting point and creating a narrative from mere fragments in the archaeological record, historian Jane Draycott reconstructs the exceptional life of this woman.

During her 70 years on the throne, few got to know the Queen well, but there is one body of work that sheds new light on her thoughts, personality and the issues that really concerned her: the Queen's own speeches. Based on in-depth research and interviews with many of those who knew the Queen best, this audiobook sheds new light on the life and career of our much-missed monarch.

We live in a world where Netflix makes lavish dramas about the current royal family, whilst Prince Harry and Meghan continue to indulge us with tell-all interviews, articles, upcoming biographies and documentaries. So what if Oprah gave Kate and William the opportunity to tell their sides of the story and - against all the odds - they agreed?

In 1895, archaeologists excavating a villa outside Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman silverware. Among the treasures was a bowl featuring a female figure with thick, curly hair, deep-set eyes, a slightly hooked nose and a strong jaw, and sporting an elephant scalp headdress. Modern scholars believe this woman to be a depiction of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of the infamous Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Using this discovery as her starting point, Jane Draycott recreates the life and times of a remarkable woman.

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.

Die aktuellste Biografie mit Exklusivmaterial aus den Royal Archives. Schüchtern, aber mit stählernem Selbstbewusstsein. Unergründlich trotz eines Lebens in der Öffentlichkeit. Gläubig. Unsentimental. Neugierig. Mit all diesen Begrifflichkeiten ließe sich Queen Elizabeth II. beschreiben. Eine Regentin, die mit stärkeren Veränderungen konfrontiert wurde als alle anderen royalen Staatsoberhäupter der englischen Geschichte. Dabei wurde sie nicht als Thronfolgerin geboren, ihr Leben wurde durch die Abdankung König Edwards VIII. unvermittelt in andere Bahnen gelenkt.

King Edward I was the first of three Edwards who reigned in perfect succession. He was one of the most important kings in English history, but he was also one of the most controversial. This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students. Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.

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.

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.
