內容簡介

內容簡介 NATIONAL BESTSELLER �Fascinating . . . the court at Versailles comes alive.� � The Washington Post The introduction, discussion questions, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group�s reading of Antonia Fraser�s acclaimed biography Marie Antoinette: The Journey . The national bestseller from the acclaimed author of The Wives of Henry VIII. France’s beleaguered queen, Marie Antoinette, wrongly accused of uttering the infamous “Let them eat cake,” was the subject of ridicule and curiosity even before her death; she has since been the object of debate and speculation and the fascination so often accorded tragic figures in history. Married in mere girlhood, this essentially lighthearted, privileged, but otherwise unremarkable child was thrust into an unparalleled time and place, and was commanded by circumstance to play a significant role in history. Antonia Fraser’s lavish and engaging portrait of Marie Antoinette, one of the most recognizable women in European history, excites compassion and regard for all aspects of her subject, immersing the reader not only in the coming-of-age of a graceful woman, buaimedt also in the unraveling of an era.

各界推薦

各界推薦 本書出版後，吸引了導演的索菲亞‧科波拉（愛情不用翻譯）對於這位具爭議性女子的興趣，並請作者改編成劇本拍成了年度具爭議的電影（中譯名「荳蔻風華」），由Kirsten Dunst克絲汀鄧斯特 (伊莉莎白小鎮、蜘蛛人)扮演這位傳奇人物。 1755年出生於維也納的Marie Antoinette，就是我們熟知的瑪麗皇后，當時的她被譽為奧地利最美的公主，不過年紀尚小的她，卻變成法國與奧地利兩國之間政治利益交換的犧牲品。1769年法國國王路易十五希望她能嫁給他的孫子路Louis Auguste這個孫子即是之後的路易十六，不過瑪麗來到這裡成為太子妃不過是十四歲的事情，不過他十九歲就成了法國皇后，身上背負著極大的壓力。之後卻因為排解寂寞生活，因此染上的浪費的習性，當下法國的民生衰敗，立刻瑪麗皇后的行徑就成為眾矢之砥，繼1793年路易十六被送上斷頭臺之後，年僅三十七歲的她在同年也被送上斷頭台。 作者Antonia Fraser曾撰寫過相當多歷史人物的傳記，也獲得多項文學獎項，這本描寫瑪麗皇后的傳記，花了相當多的篇幅描寫主角的個性與所處政治環境的壓力，生動而具有張力。
