19.99 €
A new look at the history of powerful dynasties, full of entanglements, mysterious coincidences, tragedies and exploits.
Five rulers of the XVI century, five contemporaries who lived in the same reality: the Moscow Tsar Ivan IV, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland, King Philip II of Spain, Queen Catherine de Medici of France - carefully took care to pass power to heirs and ensure the future of the glorious dynasties, so that not to interrupt the distinguished family. But such is the game of fate - all of them became the last, brightest flashes, after which their dynasties were soon cut short. Screenwriter, historian, blogger and bestselling author of "The Queen's Move. How Ivan the Terrible wooed the English Queen Elizabeth" Irina Belova-Fliera will guide readers through the tangled relationships of the great monarchs and point out all the threads that linked their complicated destinies.
- What will the next step, choice and decision of the monarch lead to?
- How do we know if the choice of a spouse is the right one?
- Where do the events that become turning points of history and destiny come from? And what of these events is controlled and created by man himself? And what is the result of happy or fateful coincidences?
Looking into the intertwining of destinies, into the parallel lives of the rulers of the brightest epoch in history, into their hopes and how they chose and made mistakes, we will be able to recreate the past as a three-dimensional reality and, perhaps, unravel the mystery of choice, the mystery of the rulers' fate and the mystery of each person's destiny. And specially selected illustrations will allow you to better immerse yourself in the world of dynastic intrigues and tragedies. Together with the book "Without the Right to the Throne. How blossomed and died five great dynasties" you will go on a journey through time and space, where, in addition to the main characters of our story, lived, created and ruled Machiavelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Suleiman the Magnificent, Cervantes and other "stars" of distant centuries. All their destinies intertwine with each other, leading from person to person, creating a breathtaking fabric of reality.
