Она знала, что лучшей защитой для девушки служит ее ум, что благосостояние семьи может измениться по прихоти короля и что на европейской политической арене разыгрывается большая шахматная партия, в которой даже она может сыграть определенную роль. Никто, разумеется, не представлял, насколько значительной будет эта роль». (Сара Гриствуд) Анна Болейн и Маргарита Австрийская, при дворе которой она служила и воспитывалась.

История Тюдоров – это история власти и любви. Основатель династии, король Генрих VII, использовал легенды о короле Артуре и рыцарях Круглого стола, чтобы обосновать свои притязания на корону.

Исследовательница Сара Гриствуд рассказывает историю о том, как любили Тюдоры – самая знаменитая династия Средневековья. Осада Замка любви и рыцарские турниры, кодекс куртуазной любви и романтическая традиция о Гвиневре – все это легло в основу власти Тюдоров и пронизало…

Wojna Dwóch Róż przedstawiana jest zazwyczaj z perspektywy mężczyzn – Ryszarda księcia Yorku, Henryka VI, Edwarda IV i Henryka VII. Sara Gristwood prezentuje zupełnie nowe spojrzenie na konflikt Lancasterów i Yorków, w którym główną rolę odgrywają kobiety. Autorka śledzi losy siedmiu kobiet, które aktywnie uczestniczyły w politycznych rozgrywkach podczas wojny domowej. Jest wśród nich pozbawiona korony Cecylia Neville, Elżbieta Woodville, która potajemnie poślubiła Edwarda IV i uknuła spisek w celu obalenia Ryszarda III, czy niezwykle ambitna Małgorzata Beaufort, matka Henryka VII, która doprowadziła swojego syna do angielskiej korony.

Większość z siedmiu kobiet, których losy tworzą rdzeń tej książki, była już tematem co najmniej jednego studium biograficznego. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest jednak splecenie historii poszczególnych kobiet w jedną opowieść, prześledzenie łączących je powiązań – często sprzecznych z sojuszami zawieranymi przez mężczyzn – i pokazanie, do jakiego stopnia ich życiorysy były często do siebie podobne. Ich życie toczyło się wokół władzy, której walutą przetargową byli synowie i mężowie. Brutalne wydarzenia tych lat mogłyby posłużyć za temat niejednej tragedii greckiej.

Winston Churchill is one of the best-known and most revered figures of our time, the man who led Britain through its «darkest hour». Many books have been published about his life and work, but very few have looked at his life through the prism of the house he occupied for over 40 years.
Chartwell is as fundamental to understanding Churchill as Hill Top is to Beatrix Potter. This Elizabethan manor

A double biography of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, their friendship and love affair.

Sixteenth-century Europe saw an explosion of female rule. From Isabella of Castile, and her granddaughter Mary Tudor, to Catherine de Medici, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth Tudor, these women wielded enormous power over their territories, shaping the course of European history for over a century. Across boundaries and generations, these royal women were mothers and daughters, mentors and protÃ(c)es, allies and enemies. For the first time, Europe saw a sisterhood of queens who would not be equaled until modern times. A fascinating group biography and a thrilling political epic, Game of Queens explores the lives of some of the most beloved (and reviled) queens in history.

As religion divided sixteenth-century Europe, an extraordinary group of women rose to power. They governed nations while kings fought in foreign lands. They ruled on behalf of nephews, brothers and sons. They negotiated peace between their warring nations. For decades, they ran Europe. Small wonder that it was in this century that the queen became the most powerful piece on the chessboard.

From mother to daughter and mentor to protégée, Sarah Gristwood follows the passage of power from Isabella of Castile and Anne de Beaujeu through Anne Boleyn – the woman who tipped England into religious reform – and on to Elizabeth I and Jeanne d’Albret, heroine of the Protestant Reformation. Unravelling a gripping historical narrative, Gristwood reveals the stories of the queens who had, until now, been overshadowed by kings.

Historian Sarah Gristwood follows Potter from her constricted Victorian childhood to the success and tragedy of the years 1901-13, when she published nearly all her major books yet was denied love by the death of her fiance. Finally, she traces the last 30 years of Potter's life, when she abandoned books to become a working farmer and pioneer of the conservation movement in the early days of the National Trust. Special features throughout the book will show how Beatrix Potter developed many of her most famous characters, including Peter Rabbit, Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, and Jemima Puddleduck.

"Sumptuous...a fitting legacy for a pioneering conservationist who helped save thousands of acres of the Lake District" - The Mail on Sunday, August 2016 To this day, Beatrix Potter's tales delight children and grown-ups around the world. But few people realise how extraordinary her own story is. She was a woman of contradictions. A sheltered Victorian daughter who grew into an astute modern businesswoman. A talented artist who became a scientific expert. A famous author who gave it all up to become a farmer. In The Story of Beatrix Potter, Sarah Gristwood follows the twists and turns of Beatrix Potter's life and its key turning points - including her tragically brief first engagement and happy second marriage late in life. She traces the creation of Beatrix's most famous characters - including the naughty Peter Rabbit, confused Jemima Puddleduck and cheeky Squirrel Nutkin - revealing how she drew on her unusual childhood pets and locations in her beloved Lake District. She explores too, the last 30 years of Potter's life, when she abandoned books to become a working farmer and a pioneering conservationist, whose work with the National Trust helped to save thousands of acres of the Lake District - a legacy that, like her books, continues to enrich our lives today.

Holly Golightly was undoubtedly the role that made Audrey Hepburn a movie icon.
Dressed by Hubert de Givenchy and holding the infamous cigarette holder, she played her most memorable part in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Adapted from the Truman Capote novella of the same name, the inspired cast took the screenplay and fashioned it into the touching comedy of a young woman finding her way in the world.
2011 was the 50th anniversary of the release of Breakfast at Tiffany's and this lavish book pays tribute to its ongoing popularity. The only official companion to be published in association with Paramount Pictures and the Audrey Hepburn estate, it includes favourite images from the film as well as unpublished behind the scenes footage from the Paramount archives, stories from the set, and a history of the screenplay since the hugely popular film. A celebration of a timeless classic, this is the perfect book for any fan of Hepburn or 1960s film-making.

Mistrzowska biografia Sary Gristwood przedstawia angielską królową przez pryzmat relacji łączących ją z Robertem Dudleyem – osobistym doradcą, nieoficjalnym mężem i dowódcą armii, sprawiając tym samym, że nie mamy do czynienia z tradycyjną, linearną biografią. Atrakcyjność książki wzmacnia gorący temat – romans (?) łączący królową z hrabią Leicester, tak doskonale znany, a jednocześnie wzbudzający wiele pytań i kontrowersji. Autorka obiecuje zrewidować tę frapującą historię – dociec, co jest prawdą, a co jedynie narosłym przez wieki mitem – choć zdaje sobie sprawę z grząskiego gruntu: często niepewnych źródeł, które nierzadko przegrywają ze znacznie atrakcyjniejszą fantazją…

The true story of the White Queen and more, this is a thrilling history of the extraordinary noblewomen who lived through the Wars of the Roses. The events of the Wars of the Roses are usually described in terms of the men involved: Richard Duke of York, Henry VI, Edward IV, Richard III and Henry VII. But these years were also packed with women’s drama and – in the tales of conflicted maternity and monstrous births – alive with female energy. In this completely original book, Sarah Gristwood sheds light on a neglected dimension of English history: the impact of Tudor women on the Wars of the Roses. She examines, among others, Cecily…
