IMPERIAL REQUIEM: FOUR ROYAL WOMEN AND THE FALL OF THE AGE OF EMPIRES
Book ID/图书代码： 07633015B82042
English Summary/英文概要： Using a diverse array of sources - letters, diary entries, and interviews with descendants – historian and journalist Justin Vovk provides an in-depth look into the lives of four extraordinary women who were married to the reigning monarchs of Europe’s last empires throughout the cataclysm of the First World War and the tumultuous years that followed.
At the centers of these four great monarchies were Augusta Victoria, Germany’s revered empress whose unwavering commitment to her bombastic husband made her a national icon; Mary, whose Cinderella story and immense personal strength made her the soul of the British monarchy through some of its greatest crises; Alexandra, the ill-fated tsarina who helped topple the Russian monarchy through her ineffective rule; and Zita, the resolute empress of Austria whose story of loss and exile captivated the world’s attention for seven decades.
Imperial Requiem shares the fascinating story of four princesses who married for love, graced imperial thrones, and watched as their beloved worlds were torn apart by war, revolution, heartache, and loss.
