Book excerpt: The golden poison doctor had actually become a waste of an ugly girl, and on the wedding day, because of a dog's death, he couldn't even get in through the door! Heh, do you really think this old lady is a soft persimmon? A lowly slave frame-up? To die on the spot; to be insulted by a concubine? Disgusting and selling. Crown Prince? Teach him to be a good person! "If you marry me, you will be the crown prince's aunt. You and I will work together to abuse the scum, you dig the pit, and I will fill the hole." The two of them fought to form an alliance and turned the world upside down in the Northern Jin. Gu Qing left with a pat on his butt after taking in both powers. Who knew that he would be carried back to his room before the door opened? "I haven't even received my reward. Where are you going to flee to?" Gu Qing choked on his words. "How much?" "Not too much. First, return a baby to This King!"
Download or read book Catherine the Great written by Ian Grey and published by New Word City. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catherine II of Russia was the most remarkable monarch of the eighteenth century. New York Times bestselling historian Ian Grey paints an illuminating portrait of an enigmatic woman of compelling charm and elegance. She had a prodigious appetite for work, great curiosity, and boundless ambition and vanity, and she was notorious for the number of her lovers. Her prodigal expenditures and patronage of the arts made her reign an era of splendor while her foreign policy and conquests carried Russian power and prestige to new heights. She cast a spell over most of her contemporaries in Russia and in Western Europe, and the spell has lingered. Here, in this book, is the dramatic story of an obscure German princess, without beauty or special advantage, but with courage, charisma, and determination, who became one of the arbiters of the affairs of Europe and renowned in history.
Book Synopsis Maria of Austria, Holy Roman Empress (1528-1603) by : Rubén González Cuerva
Download or read book Maria of Austria, Holy Roman Empress (1528-1603) written by Rubén González Cuerva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria of Austria was one of the longest surviving Renaissance Empresses but until now has received little attention by biographers. This book explores her life, actions, and management of domestic affairs, which became a feared example of how an Empress could control alternative spheres of power. The volume traces the path of a Castilian orphan infanta, raised among her mother’s Portuguese ladies-in-waiting and who spent thirty years of marriage between the imperial courts of Prague and Vienna. Empress Maria encapsulates the complex dynastic functioning of the Habsburgs: devotedly married to her cousin Maximilian II, Maria had constant communication with her father Charles V and her brother Philip II while preserving her Spanish background. Her unique intertwining of roles and positions allows a fresh approach to female agency and the discussion of current issues: the rules of dynastic entente, the negotiation of discreet political roles for royal women, the reassessment of informal diplomacy, and the creation of dynastic networks parallel to the embassies. With chronological chapters discussing Empress Maria’s roles such as infanta, regent, Empress, and a widow, this volume is the perfect resource for scholars and students interested in the history of gender, court culture, and early modern Central Europe.

Book Synopsis Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China by : Hsieh Bao Hua
Download or read book Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China written by Hsieh Bao Hua and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the long course of late imperial Chinese history, servants and concubines formed a vast social stratum in the hinterland along the Grand Canal, particularly in urban areas. Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China is a survey of the institutions and practice of concubinage and servitude in both the general populace and the imperial palace, with a focus on the examination of Ming-Qing political and socioeconomic history through the lives of this particular group of distinct yet associated individuals. The persistent theme of the book is how concubines, appointed by patriarchal polygamy, and servants, laboring under the master-servants hierarchy, experienced interactions and mobility within each institution and in associating with the other. While reviewing how ritual and law treated concubines and servants as patriarchal possessions, the author explores the perspectives available for individualconcubines and servants and the limitations in their daily circumstances, searching for their “positional powers” and “privilege of the inferiors” in the context of Chinese culture during the Ming-Qing time period.

The entries, including surnames, personal names, styles and dates, are accompanied by maps, genealogical tables and indexes, with lists of books and special accounts of women. These features, together with the convenient surveys of the history and the administrative structure of the dynasty, will make Rafe de Crespigny's work an indispensable tool for any further serious study of a significant but comparatively neglected period of imperial China.
Book Synopsis Tarot - Your Everyday Guide by : Janina Renee
Download or read book Tarot - Your Everyday Guide written by Janina Renee and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day you make choices. Some are big, some are small-but all will affect the course of your future. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone-the tarot can give you advice when you need it most! Reading the tarot for advice requires a different approach than reading for prediction. Tarot: Your Everyday Guide presents a new method of tarot interpretation. You'll learn how to use the tarot to help you make an informed decision and determine a course of action for just about any life situation. For example, in an advice reading the Two of Wands could mean you should set up your own challenges to work out goals, define issues, and work out compromises. If the King of Cups comes up in an advice reading, it means you must give encouragement, acknowledge the accomplishments of others, give rewards, and let others enjoy the limelight. Alternatively, it could mean you need to seek a mentor who has these qualities. The position of a given card within a spread, and the cards before and after it, will clarify the cards' advice for you. You can even use advice readings to augment traditional divination. If a divinatory spread shows trouble ahead, consult the cards for advice on how to avoid the situation or lessen its impact. Whether you're an experienced tarot reader or have never even shuffled the cards before, this unique and practical book will open new doors of understanding and help you integrate the rich symbolism of the tarot into your daily life. Winner of the 2001 Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) Award for best Self-help Book

Book Synopsis Cosmopolitan Baroque by : Bianca M. Lindorfer
Download or read book Cosmopolitan Baroque written by Bianca M. Lindorfer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the cultural relations between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburg monarchies in the seventeenth century and explores the central role of transnational aristocratic networks in cultural transfer processes between Spain and Central Europe. It tells the story of Central European aristocrats who embraced new foreign fashions, commodities, and practices to demonstrate their wealth and superior social position, thereby contributing significantly to the emergence of a cosmopolitan aristocratic Baroque culture. It shows that a new type of aristocrat emerged during this period: the cultured and educated aristocratic connoisseur, who knew how to use cultural imports and practices for his own strategic ends. However, the book also shows that not everyone was equally enthusiastic about the growing cultural imports, but that the boundaries between acceptance and rejection were often fluid. Covering a wide range of topics that span from early modern luxury consumption and food culture to collecting painting and the emergence of early modern aristocratic libraries, the book will appeal to a broad academic audience, including social and cultural historians, art historians, and cultural anthropologists alike. With its transnational scope, the book will be relevant to scholars interested in exploring the cosmopolitan nature of the early modern aristocracy also beyond the Austrian Habsburg monarchy.
