Download or read book Ginevra written by Laurence Carter and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04-26 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prince Orsini has a lineage 800 years old. Unfortunately he no longer has the ancestral acres to support his dignity. They are all in the hands of a local farmer Don Luigi Spada, a self-made upstart who has gradually acquired all the princely mortgages. The Prince and his daughter occupy a dilapidated palace in the foothills of the Alps and she does what little she can to make up to him for all that he has lost. It seems only Ginevra can save the her father's crumbling fortune but will the price be too high? Meanwhile Italy in 1858 is in a ferment; the talk is all of driving out the Austrians and uniting the country. The name of Garibaldi is on everyone's lips, and nowhere more so than on the handsome lips of Renzo, the illegitimate son of Don Luigi and Ginevra's childhood friend. History intervenes, Garibaldi intervenes, and Ginevra will go through the two most tempestuous years of Italy's history - and her life - before the country can be united and Ginevra's and her father's destiny secured.

Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Book In 1858, a German princess, recently inducted into the convent of Sant’Ambrogio in Rome, wrote a frantic letter to her cousin, a confidant of the Pope, claiming that she feared for her life. A subsequent investigation by the Church’s Inquisition uncovered the shocking secrets of a convent ruled by a beautiful young mistress, who coerced her novices into lesbian initiation rites and heresies, and who entered into an illicit relationship with a young theologian. Drawing upon written testimony and original documents discovered in a secret Vatican archive, The Nuns of Sant’Ambrogio is the never-before-told true story of how one woman was able to practice deception, heresy, seduction, and murder in the heart of the Catholic Church.

Download or read book Rodin A Biography written by Frederic V. Grunfeld and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 962 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was not only the world’s greatest sculptor, known for such works as The Thinker, The Kiss, The Hand of God, and dozens of others, but also one of the most remarkable personalities of modern times: an artist who outraged contemporaries with his disturbingly unfinished monuments; a sensualist who shocked France with his scandalous relationships (among others, with Camille Claudel); and a friend to the most gifted writers and artists of his day. “A consistently absorbing story... Mr. Grunfeld is primarily concerned with setting out — insofar as they can be separated from the art — the facts of the sculptor’s life, and within his chosen limits he has written a rewarding and illuminating book.” — John Gross, The New York Times “An excellent job... will undoubtedly serve as an excellent biography of the artist.” — Benedict Read, The New York Times “Rodin finally has a biography worthy of his achievements.” — Washington Post Book World “Grunfeld’s rigorously researched and gracefully written biography of Rodin is, by far, the best in its field.” — Robert Taylor, Boston Globe “Rodin’s creative life is vividly recaptured [by Grunfeld]... No previous biography has so clearly placed him amid his colleagues and assorted friends — Victor Hugo, George Bernard Shaw, Rainer Maria Rilke, Marie Curie, James McNeill Whistler, Robert Louis Stevenson, Isadora Duncan, and many others. Nor has any placed him in the raking light of his vanity, many amours (an epic in itself) and the sexual instincts inseparable from his work.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer “Grunfeld has rescued Rodin from the twin mythic images of heroic, possessed demigod or sex-obsessed bohemian... This remarkably intimate portrait should win awards.” — Publishers Weekly “Grunfeld's book shines out. It is an excellent general biography... seamlessly written and almost un-put-downable. He skilfully covers not only Rodin's personal history but also his work and the world he lived in.” — Benedict Read, The Spectator “A vibrant biography of the great French sculptor... With all the naturalistic detail of Zola and the color of canvases by Monet, Grunfeld chronicles Rodin’s rocky career... That this exhaustive book is never dull is something of a feat... Grunfeld’s Rodin, modeled in high relief against his place and time, emerges not so much a statuary monument as a three-dimensional man.” — Kirkus Review “Well researched... A marvelous roster of personalities, politicians, writers, and artists of the time pass through the pages of the book, placing Rodin in the mainstream of the cultural life of the Third Republic.” — Gerald M. Ackerman, Los Angeles Times
Download or read book In Destiny s Hands written by C. Vovk Justin C. Vovk and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. "Readers will find many fascinating details in Vovk's In Destiny's Hands. Vovk has shed... light on these individuals and provided a much needed new work on Maria Theresa's progeny." -Julia P. Gelardi, author of the critically acclaimed Born to Rule: Five Reigning Consorts, Granddaughters of Queen Victoria and In Triumph's Wake: Royal Mothers, Tragic Daughters, and the Price They Paid For Glory "Be prepared for heart break, smiles, and most of all, a roller coaster of enlightenment... you will not be able to it down." -David Antunes, M.A., author of Napoleon's Way: How One Little Man Changed the World
