<p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? This “excellent, all-embracing” (<em>The New York Times</em>) biography of Queen Elizabeth II is a magisterial study of the woman known only from a distanceーand a captivating window into her decades-long reign.</strong></p> <p>From the moment of her ascension to the throne in 1952 at the age of twenty-five, Queen Elizabeth II was the object of unparalleled scrutiny. But through the fog of glamour and gossip, how well did we really know the world’s most famous monarch? Drawing on numerous interviews and never-before-revealed documents, acclaimed biographer Sally Bedell Smith pulls back the curtain to show in intimate detail the public and private lives of Queen Elizabeth II, who led her country and Commonwealth through the wars and upheavals of the last twentieth and twenty-first centuries with unparalleled composure, intelligence, and grace.</p> <p>In <em>Elizabeth the Queen,</em> we meet the young girl who suddenly becomes “heiress presumptive” when her uncle abdicates the throne. We meet the thirteen-year-old Lilibet as she falls in love with a young navy cadet named Philip and becomes determined to marry him, even though her parents prefer wealthier English aristocrats. We see the teenage Lilibet repairing army trucks during World War II and standing with Winston Churchill on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on V-E Day. We see the young Queen struggling to balance the demands of her job with her role as the mother of two young children.</p> <p>Sally Bedell Smith brings us inside the palace doors and into the Queen’s daily routinesーthe “red boxes” of documents she reviewed each day, the weekly meetings she had with twelve prime ministers, her physically demanding tours abroad, and the constant scrutiny of the pressーas well as her personal relationships: with her husband, Prince Philip, the love of her life; her children and their often-disastrous marriages; her grandchildren and friends.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Examines Queen Elizabeth I’s influential ladies, gentlewomen, and maids who shaped her court and reign.</strong></p> <p>‘What do you think of my ladies?’ Queen Elizabeth I is said to have asked a visitor to her court. The visitor, an experienced courtier, is said to have given the perfect answer: ‘It is hard to judge of stars in the presence of the sun’.</p> <p>Although overlooked for centuries, as the eye of history has been on the chivalrous and stately men who surrounded the Virgin Queen, the women of the Queen’s world, who attended upon her in public and in private, were of no less influence and sway than the more famous men around her.</p> <p>Indeed, the women of the Queen’s inner circle were far more than just attendants. They were the Queen’s friends and confidantes, her all-important support network in a treacherous political world, and by blood or by bond they were her ‘family’. This book tells their stories, the stories of the Queen’s ladies, gentlewomen and maids who, between them, served her from the cradle to the grave.</p> <p>From governesses to laundresses, this book features them all, with a comprehensive overview of the main positions of attendance accompanied by a biographical index of all the women known to have served the Queen over the course of her life and reign, from the matronly ladies who headed her nursery to the vivacious maids who dazzled her court with their wit and beauty.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Preface</strong></p> <p>In the annals of British history, few figures have left as enduring a legacy as Queen Elizabeth II. She was more than a monarch - she was a symbol of stability, duty, and compassion who touched the lives of millions, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. Her reign, which spanned over seven decades, witnessed unparalleled change, from the aftermath of World War II and the decline of the British Empire to the rise of a digital, interconnected world. Through it all, she stood resolute, embodying the values that made her a unifying figure for the nation.</p> <p>This book, Elizabeth: The Heart of a Nation, is a tribute to a woman whose life was dedicated to the service of her people. It is a reflection on her journey, her triumphs, and the challenges she faced as a queen, mother, and global icon. From her early days as a young princess unexpectedly thrust into the role of heir to the throne, to her final years as a respected elder stateswoman, Elizabeth remained steadfast in her commitment to the values of duty, honour, and service.</p> <p>The chapters that follow explore the many facets of her reign and the personal qualities that made her so beloved. We delve into her role as a figure of continuity during times of political upheaval, her influence on global diplomacy, and her enduring relationship with the Commonwealth. We also take a closer look at her humanity - the woman behind the crown - who shared moments of joy, sorrow, and resilience with her family and her people.</p> <p>Queen Elizabeth II's story is more than a biography of a monarch; it is a reflection of the resilience and spirit of a nation. As we celebrate her life, we also acknowledge the legacy she leaves behind - a legacy that will inspire future generations to embrace the ideals of duty, service, and unity.</p> <p>This book is not just a record of historical events, but a heartfelt tribute to a queen who truly was the heart of the nation. Whether you admired her for her steadfast leadership, her dedication to charitable causes, or her ability to adapt to a rapidly changing world, Queen Elizabeth II holds a unique place in the hearts of many. It is with this spirit that we honour her story and the indelible mark she has left on Britain and the world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>"Rich in drama and tragedy" ( <em>The Guardian</em>), here is a mesmerizing account of the extraordinary formative years of the man married to the most famous woman in the world</strong><br /> Before he met the young girl who became Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip had a tumultuous upbringing in Greece, France, Nazi Germany, and Britain. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, was born deaf; she was committed to a psychiatric clinic when Philip was eight. His father, Prince Andrew of Greece, already traumatized by his exile from his home country, promptly shut up the family home and went off to live with his mistress, effectively leaving his young son an orphan.<br /> Remarkably, Philip emerged from his difficult childhood a character of singular vitality and dashーself-confident, opinionated, and devastatingly handsome. Girls fell at his feet, and the princess who would become his wife was smitten from the age of thirteen. Yet alongside his considerable charm and intelligence, the young prince was also prone to volcanic outbursts, which would have profound consequences for his family and the future of the monarchy.<br /> In this authoritative and wonderfully compelling book, acclaimed biographer Philip Eade brings to vivid life the storm-tossed early years of one of the most fascinating and mysterious members of the royal family.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
