Anchor Books Marie Antoinette: The Journey

Excelente biografía nos da una detallada muestra de otra mujer muy diferente a la ya conocida .

Bien que je n'ai pas vu le film et j'en suis bien contente car il me semble qu'il fasse passer Marie-Antoinette pour ce qu'elle n'était pas... J'ai hâte de me plonger dans ce livre pour découvrir tout ce qu'il peut m'apprendre de nouveau et me faire ma propre opinion. De plus, il contient des illustrations, connues et moins, voire que moi-même que je ne connaissais pas. Bel ouvrage pour qui aime lire.

I'm actually in love with this book... love it frm bottom of my heart! A must read book for who loves marie antoinette and books!

I watched the movie first and was intrigued to read the book that inspired the movie. I wasn't disappointed. The book was a wealth of information and provided so much insight on the life and times of Marie Antoinette and how she came to be the woman she was. I didn't realize how misunderstood she was and the utter lack of acceptance. To be always known as the "Austrian woman" eventhough she was the mother of France and really tried her best to be accepted by the French people. The book was factual but had a tender touch as well. You couldn't help but love MA and even want to be her friend, which she so desperately needed and craved. The loving and close household in which she grew up and the coldness and callousness of the French court was expertly portrayed. The early years when the people were excited for the new Dauphine and the utter contempt for her during the Revolution was so vividly written. I can't imagine a more definitive book to give the reader a real sense of her early years and her untimely demise. Buy it and i guarantee you won't be able to put it down. Its just that fantastic!

映画の原作となり、ソフィア・コッポラもキルスティン・ダンストも読んだ本です。女性の視点でマリーが描かれていて、スケープゴートとして死んでいった彼女に思いを馳せられます。そればかりでなく花や音楽、服装や宝石にも眼を向けていて、読んでいて心地よいです。
