Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Josephine, Vol. 20 Josephine, the beautiful creole who afterward became Empress of France, like Maria Antoi nette and Madam Roland, was drawn into the vortex of the French Revolution, but, more fortunate than they, escaped the guillotine, though standing in its Sinister shadow. She saw the closing of the gruesome tragedy and the rise of the young Corsican, Bonaparte. She Shared his meteoric career; saw him be come the creator of kings, with the proudest monarchs of Europe constrained to do his bidding. His own hands placed the diadem of an empress upon her brow. Then, with an energy which the world has never seen surpassed, he bent to the purpose of his soul - to make France the most illustrious nation earth had ever seen. For this he trampled upon the strongest ties of affection, and Josephine, broken-hearted, affixed her signature to the deed which sundered her dearest hopes and fondest aspirations. She has been called the Star of Napoleon for the lustre she added to his brilliancy. France reveres her as a beneficent angel of goodness.

But, although he had not the foibles of his colleague, he was also deficient in some of his qual ities. Cambaceres was a kind-hearted man; he re ceived petitions graciously, and, if he promised to sup port them, his word could be relied on. Le Brun's only care was to amass a fortune, which became con siderable. He was a selfish, cunning old man, who never did any good to anybody.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Empress Josephine, Vol. 3 of 3: With Anecdotes of the Courts of Navarre and Malmaison Being at a distance from Malmaison at the fatal period of her majesty's death, I trusted to the report made to me by a friend, who giving way to the poignancy of grief, was thereby pre vented from calmly beholding what passed before her, and readily believed every circumstance cal culated to heighten her regret. My friend will not have been sufficiently on her guard against the no less atrocious than absurd reports circu lated at the time; and she accordingly related what she supposed to be true, rather than what had come under her personal observation. Be this as it may, it is never too late to acknowledge an error; Madame will no doubt retract it, when she peruses the above statement.

This book was released on 2016-07-02 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voted greatest mystery novel of all time by the Crime Writers' Association in 1990, Josephine Tey recreates one of history's most famous-and vicious-crimes in her classic bestselling novel, a must read for connoisseurs of fiction, now with a new introduction by Robert Barnard. Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world's most heinous villains-a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother's children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England's throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower. The Daughter of Time is an ingeniously plotted, beautifully written, and suspenseful tale, a supreme achievement from one of mystery writing's most gifted masters.
Download or read book Dearest Josephine written by Caroline George and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love arrives at the most unexpected time . . . 1821: Elias Roch has ghastly luck with women. He met Josephine De Clare once and penned dozens of letters hoping to find her again. 2021: Josie De Clare has questionable taste in boyfriends. The last one nearly ruined her friendship with her best friend. Now, in the wake of her father's death, Josie finds Elias's letters. Suddenly she's falling in love with a guy who lived two hundred years ago. And star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover it . . . “Dearest Josephine is the type of story that becomes your own. The characters’ heartaches worked their way into my own chest until I hurt with them, hoped with them, and dared to dream with them. This book is teeming with swoon-worthy prose, adorable humor, and an expert delivery of ‘Will they end up together?’ I guarantee you’ll be burning the midnight candle to a stub to get answers. Step aside Pride and Prejudice, there’s a new romance on the English moors.” —Nadine Brandes, author of Romanov “Caroline George infuses an epistolary love story with a romance and charm that crosses centuries. Touching and inventive, it bursts with wit, warmth, and a blending of classic and contemporary that goes together like scones and clotted cream. Dearest Josephine is a delight.” —Emily Bain Murphy, author of The Disappearances “Dearest Josephine is more than an immersive read. It is a book lover’s dream experience. Josie’s residence in a gothic English manor and her deeply romantic connection to Elias, who lived years in the past, is as chillingly atmospheric as Rochester calling across the moors. This story is George’s treatise on the power of books and character to creep across centuries, to pull us close and invite us to live in a fantasy where we find love—literally—in the kinship of ink and binding. But it also acknowledges the dangers of letting ourselves fall too deeply when sometimes an equally powerful connection is waiting next door. This love letter to books, and the readers who exist in and for them, is a wondrously singular escape.” —Rachel McMillan, author of The London Restoration and The Mozart Code Romantic and evocative read in both contemporary and historical time periods Stand-alone novel Book length: 86,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs
