She was called the “uncrowned queen of France.” For 20 years she held in the hands of one of the most flighty monarchs in Europe - Louis XV. Of course, there were successful favorites before and after her - but none can compare with the legendary Madame Pompadour. But it would seem that the daughter of a footman and kept woman had no chance of rising so high, especially since in childhood she was skinny and ugly - a real “ugly duckling” - but even then the famous fortune teller Le Bon predicted that this ugly girl would win the royal crown. heart. The fate of the Marquise of Pompadour is a fairy tale about Cinderella that has become reality: a successful marriage that opened the way for her to Versailles, a happy coincidence of circumstances, amazing determination bordering on arrogance (what is worth her statement: “I will cheat on my husband only with the king!”). Being, by her own admission, completely frigid, this “ice” managed to become a symbol of alcove pleasures. Not having an extra dress in her youth, she turned into a “style icon” and trendsetter. All-powerful ministers were now crowded in the waiting room of the footman's daughter, waiting for permission to kiss her hand. The “ugly duckling” grew into a beautiful swan, retaining influence over the king even after he had had enough of her as a mistress...Read the new book from the superbestselling author of “Princess Olga” and “The Last Love of Catherine the Great” - a thrilling novel of rise, actual reign and untimely death of the most famous favorite in history!

Неперевершена історія про силу і вплив жінки!

Книга "Мадам Помпадур. Некоронована королева" - це захоплююча біографія, яка відкриває перед читачем не лише життя однієї з найвідоміших фавориток французького короля Людовіка XV, але й глибокі соціальні та культурні аспекти епохи. Автор майстерно описує шлях "гидкого каченяти" до вершин Версалю, де Мадам Помпадур змогла не лише завоювати серце монарха, але й стати впливовою фігурою в політиці та культурі Франції. Її рішучість, харизма та стиль вражають, а також змушують задуматися про те, як жінки в історії часто залишаються в тіні, незважаючи на свій величезний вплив. Книга написана живою мовою, наповнена яскравими деталями та анекдотами, які роблять її читання неймовірно приємним. Рекомендую всім, хто цікавиться історією, культурою та роллю жінок у суспільстві!
