1000 tulosta hakusanalla Camilla Needham
First published in 1796, Camilla deals with the matrimonial concerns of a group of young people-Camilla Tyrold and her sisters, the daughters of a country parson, and their cousin Indiana Lynmere-and, in particular, with the love affair between Camilla herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. The path of true love, however, is strewn with intrigue, contretemps and misunderstanding. An enormously popular eighteenth-century novel, Camilla is touched at many points by the advancing spirit of romanticism. As in Evelina, Fanny Burney weaves into her novel strands of light and dark, comic episodes and gothic shudders, and creates a pattern of social and moral dilemmas which emphasize and illuminate the gap between generations.

Experience this story of first love by A Wrinkle in Time author Madeleine L'Engle. This classic novel is now a major motion picture, Camilla Dickinson. Fifteen-year-old Camilla Dickinson has led a sheltered life on the Upper East Side with her architect father and stunningly beautiful mother. But this winter the security she has always known has vanished, because her parents' marriage is coming apart - and Camilla is caught in the middle. She finds a way to escape her troubles when she meets Frank, her best friend's brother, who is someone she can really talk to about life, death, God, and her dream of becoming an astronomer. When Frank introduces her to the important people in his life, who are so different from anyone she has met before, he opens her eyes to worlds beyond her own, almost as if he were a telescope helping her to see the stars. This novel, one of the author's earliest, is the story of a girl who, with the help of her first love, leaves childhood behind and enters adulthood with a newfound sense of self and inner strength.

If there is one woman that has affected the turbulent affairs of the House of Windsor more than any other, that woman is Camilla Parker Bowles. Named by Diana as the "third person" in her marriage to Charles, she has single-handedly altered the course of British monarchy. Yet despite the fact that she is constantly in the public eye, despite the media attention and the rumours, surprisingly little is known about the real Camilla. In this book, Caroline Graham has spoken to not only friends and family of Camilla, but also gleaned information from some of Camilla's advisors. She explores the tale of Charles and Camilla's romance and Camilla's feelings about the public's rejection of her and how she won over her critics to take her place at Charles' side.
