Everyone is curious about great, famous and simply famous people, and there are plenty of reasons for this. If, as often happens, they are extraordinary individuals, this interest is understandable - you want to know and understand how they gained their fame or retained what they inherited, what they did for this and we did not do, what can and should be learned from them. You will be surprised to learn that they are exactly the same people as you and me... My next book about great novels will consist of several stories about the love of monarchs of different times for such femme fatales. Sometimes we will talk about those femme fatales who themselves were the rulers of their countries and thrones - in essence, everything is the same, in this area men and women certainly have equal rights. But all the stories have one thing in common - they cost dearly to the country that one of the loving couple ruled. It seems that this is basically what happens, and this is not at all what people usually talk about love and, what’s sadder, think about. Not because love itself is something bad: no, of course not. Everything is just fine in its place. Do you think otherwise? Read for yourself and think again.
