Description:At present being re-edited. New edition coming soon. Did the shameless, sex-mad Marie Antoinette deserve to be guillotined? The Parisians thought so. What would you have thought if you had been there in 1792? Whose side would you have been on? The side of 7,000 French aristocrats and the awesome Austrian and Prussian armies advancing on Paris to raze it to the ground, wreaking destruction across France as they advanced? Or the side of the starving people, fighting to protect their brand new parliament and their brand new rights to liberty, equality and brotherhood? Whose side would you have been on? Who would you have been marching with? What would you have thought of your deceitful King, Louis XVI, and his spendthrift wife Marie Antoinette, who had secretly invited these formidable German armies to march on Paris – to restore their absolute monarchy and annihilate all your new rights? Would you have stormed Marie Antoinette’s palace with the downtrodden people? Would you have guillotined her? As the shrieking Parisians stormed their palace, the apathetic Louis waited for death. while Marie Antoinette fought valiantly for her life. She wanted to live – for the sake of her darling son, whom she burned to see on the throne of France. Not to mention her darling Count Axel Fersen, the handsome Swedish nobleman she had fallen in love with 18 years before. Yes, 36 year old Marie Antoinette had loved the dashing Fersen for 18 years, because her hopeless, sweet, liar of a husband – was never man enough for the tragic Queen. Find out why in this book. The furious Parisians stormed Marie Antoinette’s palace and imprisoned her. And this once thoughtless, pleasure seeking Queen transformed herself into the courageous, admirable Queen she should always have been. But it was too late to save her life and her throne. If only she had changed while she still had time. If only the people had got to know the new admirable Queen. Share Marie Antoinette’s agony as she dutifully remained at the side of her hopeless, sweet, liar of a husband, as the Parisians stormed her palace. Witness the last heart-breaking meeting between Marie Antoinette and her husband – before he was led off to the guillotine. Experience her anguish on the day they wrenched her shrieking little boy (now a child-king) out of her arms – forever. Feel for her 14 year old daughter on the night the callous revolutionaries came for Marie Antoinette. No wonder the Queen’s beauty had faded! No wonder her hair had begun to turn white! This book reveals Marie Antoinette as you’ve never known her. Forget the beautiful, smiling, thoughtless, pleasure seeking Queen forever dancing at some glittering, magnificent ball. Meet the other Marie Antoinette – tormented throughout her harrowing imprisonment. And will this chilling but ultimately life affirming novel about the agonising last year of Marie Antoinette’s turbulent life make you change your mind about the tragic Queen? Based on contemporary accounts, and with characters (most of whom were actual historical personages) speaking the very words they recalled in their memoirs. Includes as extras: 20 pages of snippets from Marie Antoinette’s letters to her beloved Count Axel Fersen, the love of her life – “I love you with all my heart.” Should she have given him up? After all, the people called her a whore because of this love. And extracts from the memoir by Marie Therese, Marie Antoinette’s traumatised daughter – detailing the brutality she endured after the execution of her mother: “Her soul was separated from her body, and ascended to receive its reward in the bosom of our merciful Creator."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
