Book excerpt: Explore the Captivating Life of Marie Antoinette Marie Antoinette is one of history's most celebrated queens thanks to her style and confidence, yet generally she is perceived as a greedy and selfish mistress of France. Born into a life of pure luxury as a Princess of Austria, Marie was very young when she was shipped abroad to await her turn as the Queen of France. She was forced all at once to come to terms with a foreign language, a different culture, and a court full of gossipy nobles who pounced at the first sign of weakness. Despite popular belief, Marie Antoinette was not entirely obsessed with pretty dresses and towering hairstyles-though she wouldn't quite have been the same without them. In this captivating book, you will discover the truth about the remarkable life of Marie Antoinette. Some of the topics covered in this book include: An Archduchess is Born Maria Antonia Becomes Marie Antoinette The Dauphine Queen at Nineteen A Marriage at Odds with Itself The Issue of Heirs Madame Deficit Count Axel von Ferson The Lost Children The Diamond Necklace Scandal Queen of Fashion The French Revolution The October Chapter Anxious Days at the Tuileries An Attempt to Flee Death of the Monarchy And much more!

Book excerpt: Marie Antoinette is most famously remembered as 'Madame Deficit'. Unlike the image portrayed by those who led the French Revolution, Marie was a well-intentioned philanthropist, devoted mother, and free spirit. This short historical account details the truth behind the Queen's childhood, spending, and rumoured love affairs.As a woman who had an unconventional Austrian childhood, Marie was only ever going to live her life in the only care free way she knew how. As well as gambling and partying, Marie's kind hearted character led to her forgoing many luxuries, and engaging in acts of charity. As she grew in France, Marie was subjected to ridicule over the first sexless seven years of her marriage, and would later watch two of her children die before their time. Her life ended in Paris, and she spent her last weeks without her husband or children, before being executed as a falsely-accused paedophile and national traitor.Marie Antoinette's life was one of joy, sadness, and scandal. This short history tells her story, in a very forgiving light.

Two captivating manuscripts in one book: The French Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Ten-Year Revolution in France and the Impact Made by Napoleon Bonaparte Marie Antoinette: A Captivating Guide to the Last Queen of France Before and During the French Revolution, Including Her Relationship with King Louis XVI Few historical events are as greatly revered and entirely misunderstood as the French Revolution that began in 1789. The memory of this complicated and lengthy political, violent uprising has been generally painted in broad--and oversimplified--strokes. While the French Revolution was certainly centered around two lavish monarchs and an enlightened common class, there was so much more going on behind the scenes. Even after the abolition of the French monarchy, France struggled to find a balance between public self-governance and European stability. A fragile government, merely a shell of its former self following the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, was no match for the military and political prowess of Napoleon I. Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: A Brief History of the French Monarchy Philosophies of the Times France in the 18th Century Marie Antoinette, Madame Deficit Taxes, Famine, and the Enlightenment Sieyes' "What is the Third Estate?" The National Assembly Death of the Dauphin Bastille Day The First Mayor of Paris Declaration of the Rights of Man...and The Women's March France at War The Flight to Varennes Storming the Tuileries The Monarchy is Outlawed The Fate of the Colonies The Louisiana Purchase The Reign of Terror The New French Calendar Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte In the Days and Years Afterward And much, much more!

Book excerpt: France's iconic queen, Marie Antoinette, wrongly accused of uttering the infamous "Let them eat cake," was alternately revered and reviled during her lifetime. For centuries since, she has been the object of debate, speculation, and the fascination so often accorded illustrious figures in history. Married in mere girlhood, this essentially lighthearted child was thrust onto the royal stage and commanded by circumstance to play a significant role in European history. Antonia Fraser's lavish and engaging portrait excites compassion and regard for all aspects of the queen, immersing the reader not only in the coming-of-age of a graceful woman, but in the culture of an unparalleled time and place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dazzling new vision of the ever-fascinating queen, a dynamic young historian reveals how Marie Antoinette's bold attempts to reshape royal fashion changed the future of France Marie Antoinette has always stood as an icon of supreme style, but surprisingly none of her biographers have paid sustained attention to her clothes. In Queen of Fashion, Caroline Weber shows how Marie Antoinette developed her reputation for fashionable excess, and explains through lively, illuminating new research the political controversies that her clothing provoked. Weber surveys Marie Antoinette's "Revolution in Dress," covering each phase of the queen's tumultuous life, beginning with the young girl, struggling to survive Versailles's rigid traditions of royal glamour (twelve-foot-wide hoopskirts, whalebone corsets that crushed her organs). As queen, Marie Antoinette used stunning, often extreme costumes to project an image of power and wage war against her enemies. Gradually, however, she began to lose her hold on the French when she started to adopt "unqueenly" outfits (the provocative chemise) that, surprisingly, would be adopted by the revolutionaries who executed her. Weber's queen is sublime, human, and surprising: a sometimes courageous monarch unwilling to allow others to determine her destiny. The paradox of her tragic story, according to Weber, is that fashion—the vehicle she used to secure her triumphs—was also the means of her undoing. Weber's book is not only a stylish and original addition to Marie Antoinette scholarship, but also a moving, revelatory reinterpretation of one of history's most controversial figures.
