The king's daughter
14.99 €
There are some things that even absolute power is powerless over. "The Sun King is free to dispose of other people's lives, but his own is inexorably fading into the past. Immortality - that's what rulers have longed for for centuries, and Louis XIV was no exception. In the hope of gaining power over death itself, he sends a scholar-priest, Father de la Croix, on an expedition for the legendary sea creatures whose flesh, according to legend, gives eternal life. Finally, the long-awaited ship returns with an amazing captive. It is not known whether this mysterious creature can give the king victory over death, but the fate of many people it will change irrevocably ... In 1997, the novel "The King's Daughter" was awarded two literary awards - "Nebula" and Intergalactic Award for best novel. In 2022, the long-awaited world premiere of the film adaptation of the novel will take place. Some scenes were filmed in the famous Versailles (deep at night, when there were no tourists), in particular, a large-scale dance scene in the Mirror Gallery, the most famous interior of the ceremonial residence of the "Sun King". The film will star Pierce Brosnan, William Hurt and Kaya Scodelario.
