Maria Antonieta

A rigorous essay that tries to escape from biographies to use where, sometimes, the profusion of data and dates can hinder the flow of the story. Divided into four large blocks, the book takes a complete tour of the history of this controversial queen marked by great tragedies in the most important moments of her life. The feelings of Marie Antoinette are universal: the fear of the unknown when she left her native country at the age of 14, the joy at the arrival of her first child in the world, the pain for the loss of two of her children, the anguish and the terror after the assault on the Bastille and the outbreak of the revolution, and the fear of her irremediable death sentence at only 37 years of age, which make it impossible not to empathize with the human being behind the mythical queen. An agile and emotional story book that allows us to approach history in an entertaining way and accessible to all types of audiences.
