Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the final installment of Sally Christie’s “tantalizing” (New York Daily News) Mistresses of Versailles trilogy, Jeanne Becu, a woman of astounding beauty but humble birth, works her way from the grimy back streets of Paris to the palace of Versailles, where the aging King Louis XV has become a jaded and bitter old philanderer. Jeanne bursts into his life and, as the Comtesse du Barry, quickly becomes his official mistress. “That beastly bourgeois Pompadour was one thing; a common prostitute is quite another kettle of fish.” After decades of suffering the King's endless stream of Royal Favorites, the princesses of the Court have reached a breaking point. Horrified that he would bring the lowborn Comtesse du Barry into the hallowed halls of Versailles, Louis XV’s daughters, led by the indomitable Madame Adelaide, vow eternal enmity and enlist the dauphine Marie Antoinette in their fight against the new mistress. But as tensions rise and the French Revolution draws closer, a prostitute in the palace soon becomes the least of the nobility’s concerns. Told in Christie’s witty and engaging style, the final book in The Mistresses of Versailles trilogy will delight and entrance fans as it once again brings to life the sumptuous and cruel world of eighteenth century Versailles, and France as it approaches irrevocable change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Buch lässt sich schnell lesen und endet als eine ziemlich tragische Geschichte über eine Frau, die es durch ihre natürliche Schönheit zu einem unglaublichen Reichtum gebracht hat. Obwohl du Barry im Grunde genommen nur ausgehändigt wurde, um das Vermögen ihrer Familie zu mehren, und sie von den Männern in ihrem Leben manipuliert wurde, konnte sie dennoch etwas naiv und ziemlich charmant bleiben. Es ist amüsant, sich vorzustellen, wie du Barry ihr affektiertes Lispeln benutzt, um Männer für sich zu gewinnen, selbst als ihre Schönheit zu verblassen beginnt. Es war aber auch erschreckend zu erkennen, wie schwer es für Frauen wie du Barry war, zu begreifen, dass ihre Welt durch die Revolution auf den Kopf gestellt wurde, bis es viel zu spät war. Es ist eine kurze, schnelle Lektüre, die Lust macht, mehr über diese Frau zu erfahren. Das Buch bietet eine parallele Übersetzung auf dem Sprachniveau B1, die es dem Leser ermöglicht, die Sprache in kürzerer Zeit zu lernen.

Book excerpt: "Memoirs of the Comtesse du Barry," published by Baron Étienne-Léon Lamothe-Langon, is a fascinating story of Jeanne Bécu, the Comtesse du Barry (1743-1793), a lady whose life straddled the grandeur and unpredictability of 18th-century France. Some stories are fascinating and fantastic, while others sneak up on you and draw you in. Lamothe-Langon's storytelling abilities show through as he delves into the interesting life of du Barry, who rose from humble origins to become King Louis XV's last mistress. Her connections, as well as her involvement in the complex political framework of the French court and her influence on the cultural atmosphere of her day, are all vividly described in the literature. The author's rigorous research and storytelling ability bring du Barry's character to life, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of this intriguing historical man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born the illegitimate daughter of a monk and a seamstress, Madame du Barry rose from poverty to become one of the most powerful and wealthy women of France. A courtesan, she became Louis XV's official mistress and was fêted as one of France's most beautiful women. On Louis XV's death she became vulnerable to those secretly longing for her downfall. Marie Antoinette had her imprisoned for a year, and in 1793 she was executed by the Revolutionary Tribunal for her aristocratic associations. Joan Haslip's classic biography shares the extraordinary and ultimately tragic story of du Barry's life and, in turn, illustrates the dazzling world of the eighteenth century royal court of France and the horrors of the Revolution.

Download or read book Jane Austen's Remarkable Aunt, Philadelphia Hancock written by Jan Merriman and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2024-12-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The orphaned Philadelphia Austen was forced to seek for herself those objects of eighteenth-century womanhood: social esteem and financial independence. Her story is circumscribed by the limitations of women’s lives of that time and opens up a wider exploration of those times through a detailed examination of one particular woman: Jane Austen’s ‘aunt Phila’. The story of her aunt had impressed the young Jane Austen when she created a character, Cecilia Wynne, in her short fiction, Catharine or the Bower, written when she was sixteen. Cecilia’s experience as an orphaned ‘girl of genius and feeling’ being ‘sent in quest of a husband to Bengal’, mirrored that of her recently deceased aunt. Such a connection between author and aunt sparked an interest in an otherwise neglected member of the Austen clan. How did this aunt who had provided inspiration for the young Jane manage to make her way in the world? How did the course of her life reflect the lives of other women of her times? What worlds did she move in? What people did she meet? Little was known about Philadelphia, yet her daughter Eliza, was said to be a central figure in Jane Austen’s life. The conventional trajectory Philadelphia’s was changed when, after completing a millinery apprenticeship in London, she took the chance of a journey to India and an arranged marriage. There she became part of the colorful world of the honorable East India Company and encountered many of its most notable people. Her life was transformed.
