Marie Antoinette - Stefan Zweig

King of France XVI. Louis' wife, Marie Antoinette, became the symbol of the corrupt noble type in the eyes of the people with her frivolity, extravagance and hostility to reform, spent the rest of her life in Paris prisons after the French Revolution, and was tried by the Revolutionary Court in 1793 and executed by guillotine. Known for his unique biographies on historical characters, Stefan Zweig presents readers with a biography based on intuition rather than objectivity in Marie Antoinette: Portrait of a Mediocre Character. Having mastered deep character studies as a result of his interest in psychology and Freud's teaching, Zweig approaches Marie Antoinette's legendary personality with the intuitive power of a psychologist. Lifting the veil of cannabis over the brief life of France's last queen, she tells of "a forced heroic tragedy". We present Marie Antoinette, published for the first time in Turkish, with Tevfik Turan's translation.Thin Cover:Number of Pages: 526Print Year: 2015
