Book excerpt: Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. At East London's Tilbury Docks, Rani Das and Abdul Karim, step ashore after the long voyage from India. One has to battle a society who deems her a second-class citizen; the other forges an astonishing entanglement with the ageing Queen Victoria who finds herself enchanted by stories of an India over which she rules, but has never seen. Through narrative, music and song, The Empress blends the true story of Queen Victoria's controversial relationship with her Indian servant and 'Munshi' (teacher), Abdul Karim, with the experiences of Indian ayahs who came to Britain during the 19th century. With private romance being mapped onto world history, the action cuts between the ship and different royal residences, offering bright contrasts as well as surprising affinities. In doing so, the play uncovers remarkable unknown stories of 19th-century Britain and charts the growth of Indian nationalism and the romantic proclivities of one of Britain's most surprising monarchs. The Empress, which premiered at Stratford-upon-Avon's RSC in 2013, is published here as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes by Professor Jane Garnett, Wadham College, University of Oxford, UK.

Book Synopsis The Queen Mother and Her Century by : Arthur Bousfield
Download or read book The Queen Mother and Her Century written by Arthur Bousfield and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To honour the Queen Mother and mark the occasion of her 100th birthday, Dundurn Press is publishing a biography of this remarkable woman in words and pictures. Since her marriage to George VI, the Queen Mother has been a public figure who has always evoked passionate reactions: whether it was the anonymous soldier who vowed "to fight for that little lady," Adolf Hitler who described her as "the most dangerous woman in Europe," or the Canadian journalist who coined the expression "the Queen Mum." A Canadian perspective on a sovereign who created and cultivated a special relationship with Canada informs The Queen Mother and Her Century. The first of many tours of Canada, the Royal Tour of 1939, which gave Canadians our initial opportunity to experience the Queen Motherâe(tm)s personal magnetism first-hand, is described in detail, along with the many Canadian relationships the Queen Mother has formed since. The Queen Mother and Her Century is a wonderful album-sized (81/2âe x 11âe ) commemorative keepsake and makes a thoughtful gift for the many admirers of the Queen Mother. The text and 120 colour photographs are complemented by time bars, lists of the Queen Motherâe(tm)s official tours, associations the Queen Mother is patron of, places that are named after the Queen Mother, and the Royal Family tree.
Book Synopsis Maximilian and Carlota by : M. M. McAllen
Download or read book Maximilian and Carlota written by M. M. McAllen and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new telling of Mexico’s Second Empire and Louis Napoléon’s installation of Maximilian von Habsburg and his wife, Carlota of Belgium, as the emperor and empress of Mexico, Maximilian and Carlota brings the dramatic, interesting, and tragic time of this six-year-siege to life. From 1861 to 1866, the French incorporated the armies of Austria, Belgium—including forces from Crimea to Egypt—to fight and subdue the regime of Mexico’s Benito Juárez during the time of the U.S. Civil War. France viewed this as a chance to seize Mexican territory in a moment they were convinced the Confederacy would prevail and take over Mexico. With both sides distracted in the U.S., this was their opportunity to seize territory in North America. In 1867, with aid from the United States, this movement came to a disastrous end both for the royals and for France while ushering in a new era for Mexico. In a bid to oust Juárez, Mexican conservatives appealed to European leaders to select a monarch to run their country. Maximilian and Carlota’s reign, from 1864 to 1867, was marked from the start by extravagance and ambition and ended with the execution of Maximilian by firing squad, with Carlota on the brink of madness. This epoch moment in the arc of French colonial rule, which spans North American and European history at a critical juncture on both continents, shows how Napoleon III’s failure to save Maximilian disgusted Europeans and sealed his own fate. Maximilian and Carlota offers a vivid portrait of the unusual marriage of Maximilian and Carlota and of international high society and politics at this critical nineteenth-century juncture. This largely unknown era in the history of the Americas comes to life through this colorful telling of the couple’s tragic reign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Wei and Apophany, inseparable as children, were forced into adulthood along vastly separate routes. Apophany, an empress through forced marriage, and An Wei, an orphan through politically motivated killings. An Wei escapes through the valiant efforts of his father while Apophany must bear the foreboding pressure of leading her new empire as a figure head. An Wei, finding solace only within the beautiful memory of the smile of his best friend Apophany, obtains direction for where he wants his life to conclude, beside his best friend. Fortunately for An Wei, the emperor passed away as a result of his desire for the adrenaline-filled life of warrior legends. Not wanting to lose his chance, An Wei ceases the moment to thrust himself back into Apophany's life. Surrounded by political edicts, traditional avenues, and cultural bias, An Wei understands that the only way to get to his Apophany is through the shadows created by his family. An Wei soothes the mind and spirit of Apophany while honoring her request for him not to reveal his identity. With war breaking out and Apophany showing signs that she still lacks the strength to help make a change in her empire, An Wei sets out to give her as much time as she needs. An Wei enlists to defend the empire. Apophany, soon understanding what her truest desire is, searches for An Wei. Apophany and An Wei, through unforeseen events, now must decide on the course of their native empire as An Wei now stands before Apophany, an empress, as an emperor. With the fate of the land in their hands, they are forced into mortal combat. Apophany must decide between what is truly important in her life and, subsequently, the lives of her people, traditions created generations ago, or through the steady advancement of empowerment for all. And Apophany must decide quickly as she finds herself, yet again, torn between mortal combat, fear, and her truest desire. "It is a sensual adventure of how passionate love for oneself and one's people is gained and lost before being rekindled through the trials of cultural conflict and domestic war."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knot in the Rug encapsulates the massive upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century from a point of view that the English-speaking readership rarely glimpses. A gripping read that also sheds light on traditional Persian customs of birth, marriage and death still followed in modern-day Iran The book's heroine, Khanoum, is in the courts of Persia's Qajar dynasty. The twists and turns in Khanoum's life make for a gripping read, whilst at the same time shedding light on traditional Persian customs of birth, marriage and death, still followed in modern-day Iran. Forced to flee Persia during the Constitutional Revolution of 1906, Khanoum is brought up by her uncle and his immediate family. Her teenage years are marked by her struggles: family tragedy, her horrendous journey through Persia, and her uncertain future. Once in Russia her aunt, a woman of great strength and wisdom, manages to bring some sense of order to their exiled gathering by creating a home akin to what they were accustomed to. However, some years later, the Bolshevik revolution brings another upheaval and they flee once more; this time to Istanbul. In the fairy-tale palaces of the Ottoman Empire Khanoum marries a member of the Ottoman Court. But the newlyweds hardly have time to make plans for their future when they face yet more turmoil; learning of the downfall of the ruling family, they hurriedly escape to France. In Paris with her husband, Khanoum at last finds a resting place, but it does not take long before her eventful and tragic destiny once again beckons and she finds herself alone and destitute. The story contains a rich and compelling record of how these historic events affected the lives of a group of people from different parts of the world. It presents an overview of the fabric of the Iranian society with an emphasis on the last century's privileged class.
