With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry King Charles VIII of France, in order to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner... Unexpectedly, a passionate relationship ensues. Yet Charles cannot shake the bad habits he has brought into their marriage, and Anne cannot help him in his darkest area of struggle. Together, they introduce the wonders of the Italian Renaissance to France, building one of Europe's most glorious 15th-century courts at their royal residence in Amboise, in the heart of the Loire Valley.

◆ Royalty ◆ Power ◆ Politics ◆ Love ◆ StruggleBestselling biographer and historian Sarah Gristwood, author of The Tudors in Love, calls this tale of early 16th-century Europe's most brilliant power broker "Compelling and wholly convincing-at once a vividly readable novel and a long-overdue presentation of Europe's unsung heroine to the broad audience she deserves."Margaret of Austria was the most significant political negotiator of early 16th-century Europe. About as Austrian as French fries are French, she was born in Brussels in 1480, raised in France, married and widowed in Spain, then married and widowed again in Savoy by age twenty-four.In 1506 Margaret's life turned upside down when her brother Philip of Burgundy unexpectedly died in Spain. With their mother Juana of Castile insane, four children, heirs to the Habsburg empire, were left behind in the Burgundian-Habsburg Netherlands.Margaret stepped in and took the reins.Appointed by her father, Maximilian I, Margaret became governor of the Netherlands, then widened her role to broker the 1508 Treaty of Cambrai where Europe's princes united against Venice.Ferdinand of Spain, Henry Tudor then Henry VIII of England, Louis XII of France, and Louise of Savoy for Francis I all came to Margaret's negotiation table. Under her deft diplomacy princes saw reason and wars were averted.Enjoying political power, Margaret avoided remarriage. Then Henry VIII's right-hand man Charles Brandon turned her world upside down.Margaret's court attracted Europe's brightest, including the young Anne Boleyn. Yet halfway through her rule Margaret was ousted by enemies. She won back her position with a comeback strategy as astute today as it was in 1517.Journey to the Renaissance with Margaret of Austria, who shot the fortunes of the House of Habsburg to the stars while setting a winning precedent for female rule in the Netherlands.
In 1501, Anne of Brittany devises the perfect match for her only child by Louis XII, King of France. Their daughter will become the most powerful woman in Europe if she marries the future Holy Roman Emperor. But Louis balks. Instead, he wishes her to marry his successor. How else to keep his own bloodline on the throne?Anne is incensed. Why should her daughter not rule Brittany one day as her successor? Better to be a decision maker as ruler of Brittany, where women are not forbidden to rule, than only to sit next to France's future king as queen-consort, bereft of political power. Anne wants Louis to stay out of Italy, but Louis is determined to gain a foothold there for France. Joining Ferdinand of Spain in a secret pact to partition southern Italy, Louis soon discovers, with devastating results, the age of chivalry is over.As lovers, Anne and Louis are in accord. As rulers, their aims differ. Who will prevail? Book Three of the Anne of Brittany Series brings alive Anne of Brittany's story to modern readers in an accessible and historically accurate way.This late medieval to early Renaissance ruler of Brittany provides a strong role model to women in leadership positions today. A rigorous proponent of the education of women, Anne of Brittany was also one of Europe's biggest patrons of the arts, largely responsible for bringing the Italian Renaissance to France and to Brittany, which was an independent realm during her lifetime, from 1477-1514. She is the only woman in history who was twice crowned Queen of France.Anne of Brittany's story should be included in any European historical fiction collection. The Anne of Brittany Series should be categorized with historical fiction works by authors such as Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Antonia Fraser. Readers of Tudor history, in particular, will enjoy expanding their knowledge of historical figures in Brittany and France who ruled during the Tudor era.It is interesting to note that Anne of Brittany's father, Francis II, Duke of Brittany, provided shelter and support to Henry Tudor during his years of exile in Brittany before ascending the English throne in 1485, marking the start of the modern age. Brittany itself maintains a strong Celtic identity since the 8th century when it was settled by explorers from Wales and Cornwall.

In 1925, MGM produced a screen version of Lew Wallace's best-selling novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, which became a classic of silent cinema. Nearly 25 years later, the biblical epic was remade by William Wyler and received an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards, including one for Miklós Rózsa's music. Indeed, the score for Ben-Hur is one of the greatest achievements in Hollywood film music. In this book, Roger Hickman focuses on the confluence of traditions, trends, and innovations that shaped Rózsa's score. Hickman provides an overview of Rózsa's music into the 1960s, looks at the composer's musical influences and the development of his distinctive style, and examines how Rózsa applied these compositional techniques to film scoring. The author then explores the Ben-Hur phenomenon and traces the development of the story and its musical traditions from the original novel into the 21st century. Hickman also examines the conventions of epic films and ties these influences together with a detailed analysis of the score. Miklós Rózsa's Ben-Hur pays tribute to not only one of the great film scores but also to one of Hollywood's most influential composers.
Si el grupo de Rozsa estaba tan penetrado, si lo controlaban tanto como para que el Presidente Morales sea informado de todo (hasta del detalle del frustrado "magnicidio") c mo es posible que no se los haya detenido con vida, dando al pa s y al mundo una muestra de respeto a los DDHH y, adem s, desperdiciar la oportunidad de demostrar que "los cruce os son separatistas y golpistas"? La verdad es que para cuando se dieron las cosas, nada le interesaba al gobierno m s que callar a Rozsa y dejar la duda sobre todo lo dem s)...) De ah el t tulo de este libro: Maten a Rozsa , porque expresada o no la orden de esta manera, ese era el objetivo de un operativo que, por lo que ten a que callar, se convirti en una masacre.
