DIAMOND QUEEN: ELIZABETH II AND HER PEOPLE----(US TITLE THE REAL ELIZABETH)

Book ID/图书代码： 04300011B49643

English Summary/英文概要： Published alongside a flagship BBC television series to mark her Diamond Jubilee, this book is an account of The Queen’s reign

With the flair for narrative and the meticulous research that readers have come to expect, Andrew Marr turns his attention to the monarch – and to the monarchy, chronicling the Queen’s pivotal role at the centre of the state, which is largely hidden from the public gaze, and making a strong case for the institution itself.

Arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, Marr dissects the Queen’s political relationships, crucially those with her Prime Ministers; he examines her role as Head of the Commonwealth, and her deep commitment to that Commonwealth of nations; he looks at the drastic changes in the media since her accession in 1952 and how the monarchy – and the monarch – have had to change and adapt as a result. Indeed he argues that under her watchful eye, the monarchy has been thoroughly modernized and made as fit for purpose in the twenty-first century as it was when she came to the throne and a ‘new Elizabethan age’ was ushered in.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书与首屈一指的BBC电视台制作的系列节目一道问世，以庆祝伊利莎白女王在位50周年。

安德鲁.马在仔细研究了大众读者的口味之后，果断地把自己的创作对象转移到王室—而且是英国的君主。通过本书，安德鲁记录了女王陛下处在国家中心地位这一重要角色上的所作所为，而且他所揭露的往往是不为公众所了解的，从而令君主制度具有强烈的神秘色彩。

作者按照主题而不是以编年史这种令人乏味的古老方式来编排本书，并一一剖析了女王陛下的政治关系，尤其是和她的那些首相们之间的关系；作者还阐释了女王作为国家元首的这一角色，以及她对英联邦国家的全心投入；此外，安德鲁回顾了女王自1952年登基以来媒体所发生的巨大变化，以及作为君主的她—乃至整个君主制度如何做出相应调整的。诚然，作者认为在伊利莎白女王那锐利的视野下，君主制度已经很好地走向现代化、融入21世纪的要求和发展。就在她登基的那一刻，一个“全新的伊利莎白时代”就已经开始。(兼职翻译-XMM)

’Andrew Marr’s absorbing new book leaves no doubt about the pivotal role played by the Queen herself . . . As a leading broadcaster, Marr has been able to watch the Queen at first hand, and the more he has seen of her the more impressed he has become. As you would expect, he is particularly acute on the political aspects of constitutional monarchy, but he also writes perceptively about individual members of the Royal Family, notably Prince Philip’ ---Mail on Sunday - 4 star review

’Next year’s Diamond Jubilee will be marked by a clutch of royal biographies. Marr’s line as a former political journalist guarantees that his own offering does not simply sink in the sea of sugary platitudes.’ ---Express
