The young and lovely Suzanne, the daughter of a Florentine courtesan and the prince, is presented to the court of Louis XVI, the King of France. Her mighty father hopes for a brilliant match for his charming daughter. The Queen of France appoints her lady-in-waiting. The beautiful girl catches the eye of Count of Artois, the King's younger brother and a notorious philander. He throws all the luxury and social life of Versailles at Suzanne's feet: whirling balls, theatre plays, sumptuous tours and magnificent hunts. However, it is the blue-eyed Viscount of Brittany who has captured Suzanne's heart. Outside the glittering court of Versailles though, people are burning with indignation already and an impending revolution is in the air. Marie Antoinette's lady-in-waiting is Roxanne Gedeon's first book telling the historical love story of Suzanne, a gorgeous French noblewoman, who found herself living and fighting for love on the brink of the Kingdom's demise.

Book Synopsis Marie Antoinette's Head by : Will Bashor
Download or read book Marie Antoinette's Head written by Will Bashor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. For the better part of the queen’s reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen’s affairs? Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship, Marie Antoinette’s Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution charts the rise of Leonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette. By unearthing a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, including memoirs (including Léonard’s own), court documents, and archived periodicals the author, French History professor and expert Will Bashor, tells Autie’s mostly unknown story. Bashor chronicles Leonard’s story, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence. Besides his proximity to the queen, Leonard also had a most fascinating life filled with sex (he was the only man in a female dominated court), seduction, intrigue, espionage, theft, exile, treason, and possibly, execution.

Book Synopsis Marie Antoinette's Confidante by : Geri Walton
Download or read book Marie Antoinette's Confidante written by Geri Walton and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the woman who befriended the last queen of France—and the price she paid for her devotion. Perhaps no one knew Marie Antoinette better than one of her closest confidantes, Marie Thérèse, the Princess de Lamballe. The princess became superintendent of the queen’s household in 1774, and through her relationship with Marie Antoinette, she gained a unique perspective of the lavishness and daily intrigue at Versailles. Born into the famous House of Savoy in Turin, Italy, Marie Thérèse was married at the age of seventeen to the Prince de Lamballe, heir to one of the richest fortunes in France. He transported her to the gold-leafed and glittering chandeliered halls of the Château de Versailles, where she soon found herself immersed in the political and sexual scandals that surrounded the royal court. As the plotters and planners of Versailles sought, at all costs, to gain the favor of Louis XVI and his queen, the Princess de Lamballe was there to witness it all. This book reveals the Princess de Lamballe’s version of these events and is based on a wide variety of historical sources, helping to capture the waning days and grisly demise of the French monarchy. The story immerses you in a world of titillating sexual rumors, bloodthirsty revolutionaries, and hair-raising escape attempts—a must read for anyone interested in Marie Antoinette, the origins of the French Revolution, or life in the late eighteenth century.
Book Synopsis Queen of Fashion by : Caroline Weber
Download or read book Queen of Fashion written by Caroline Weber and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2007-10-02 with total page 452 pages. 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.

His studio is one of the most artis tically arranged in all Paris. Scarcely had public attention been drawn to his picture before people were whispering in the salons about the rare cabinets and exquisite tapestries that adorned his studio while its arrangement was declared to be marvelous. And it was on just such days as this, that Paul du Laurier secured his rarest bits. The banker Croesus and the gra/nde dame Connoisseur rarely venture out on such a day; besides, this was only a little sale, for only one article of any artistic value is to be sold, and that is a Louis Seize cabinet, an exquisite one, which has found its way from some provincial chri team.
