Marie Antoinette went down in history as the most carefree queen of France, whose charm and grace were as undeniable and remarkable as her extravagance and recklessness. From this book you will learn how the days and nights of the young Dauphine passed, and then the queen, amorous and gambling, tireless in her inventions in arranging holidays and amusements, full of passion and thirsty for love, whose life ended on the scaffold under the insulting cries of a bloodthirsty crowd . Pierre Nezelof narrates the short but fascinating life of the Austrian Archduchess from birth to her last minutes with sincere admiration for her generosity and courage in the face of death.
