Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Celebrated Madame Campan: Lady-in-Waiting to Marie Antoinette and Confidante of Napoleon 'Tis but a mediocre author who needs to apologize for his sins of omission or commission before the Arguseyed critic has had time to rend the ewe-lamb to pieces; the apologies, like the tears in Heine's immortal Lyrisches Intermezzo, usually come after the frail bark has been launched upon the sea of Literature to be wrecked on the sharp rocks of Criticism, become becalmed in the Arctic Circle of Oblivion, or perchance sail with the chosen few into the peaceful harbour of that ultima thule - Popularity. I fear it will be said that I have taken strange liberties with Mme Campan's Memoirs, from which the first part of my book was gleaned. Why are those interesting memoirs so little read in England nowadays? Perhaps because they fill three volumes - who, in this age of hurry, takes the trouble or has the leisure to read anything so lengthy? - perhaps because they are written in a somewhat stilted manner, lack sequence, and contain too many repetitions of the same fact, and perhaps because the authoress mentions several persons who are mere names to the general public, and concludes just at the most poignant period of the Revolution. And yet the story of her own adventures during the Reign of Terror is full of exciting situations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Destiny's Hands

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Justin Vovk's IN DESTINY'S HANDS is the heartbreaking story of five children of Austria's iconic empress, Maria Theresa, who watched as their royal worlds were ripped apart by tragedy and epic misfortunes. These are the stories of Joseph, whose disastrous reign forced Austria to the brink of civil war; Amalia, the brazen and scandalous duchess who married a boy-prince and died exiled and forgotten; Leopold, Maria Theresa's unassuming second son, who was the envy of Europe until his tumultuous reign was cut tragically short; Maria Carolina, the very Austrian queen of Naples, who ended her days fighting Napoleon with her dying breath; and Marie Antoinette, the legendary teenage bride, who was hated and reviled as Queen of France and met her ultimate fate on the guillotine, a testimony to her mother's vain ambition. Painstakingly researched and masterfully crafted, IN DESTINY'S HANDS brings to vivid life the world of eighteenth century like never before.
