Robert Hardman

Una obra monumental escrita por el biografo de referencia de la familia real inglesa, Robert Hardman

Isabel II no nacio para ser reina. Sin embargo, desde su llegada al trono en 1952 se convirtio en una de las principales figuras de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y principios del XXI. Su ingenio y determinacion le han permitido dirigir a su familia y a su pueblo durante mas de setenta anos de cambios sociales sin precedentes. Vivio una Guerra Mundial, se enfrento a crisis constitucionales y amenazas de muerte, salvo a la Commonwealth, fue testigo de las idas y venidas de sucesivos primeros ministros, conquisto a los lideres mundiales, fue criticada y alabada por los medios de comunicacion y condujo a su familia a traves de una serie de escandalos publicos que amenazaron la pervivencia de la Monarquia.

Con un acceso sin precedentes a la Familia Real, a su personal, a sus amigos y a los Archivos Reales, este libro ofrece una mirada novedosa y rigurosa a nuestra historia contemporanea a traves de una de las figuras publicas que mejor la han definido. Robert Hardman, uno de los principales expertos en la Familia Real, ofrece el libro mas completo y original sobre la inigualable Isabel II, tanto en calidad de monarca moderna como de mujer de Estado de talla internacional.

Se trata de una obra fascinante sobre la supervivencia y la renovacion del sistema dinastico, que abarca la abdicacion, la guerra, el romance, el desafio y la tragedia. Un retrato unico de una lider que sigue siendo tan intrigante hoy como el dia en que ascendio al trono a los veinticinco anos de edad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most thorough, most readable, most original book on the record-breaking Elizabeth II.

Shy but with a steely self-confidence; inscrutable despite ten decades in the public eye; unflappable; devout; indulgent; outwardly reserved, inwardly passionate; unsentimental; inquisitive; young at heart. All of these describe Her Majesty Queen?Elizabeth II, reigned through more seismic social change than any monarch in British history. From the Abdication to the Sussexes, from World War II to the loss of her life-long partner, she witnessed family crises on a scale not seen since the days of George III. She was a 21st Century global phenomenon commanding unrivalled respect and affection. Sealed off during the greatest peacetime emergency of modern times, she stuck to her own maxim: 'I have to be seen to be believed.' Robert Hardman, the acclaimed and respected author of?Her?Majesty?and?Queen of the World?has already examined the Queen as a modern monarch and her role as a stateswoman?abroad. Now, in this entirely new study, including unpublished Royal Family papers and photographs along with personal stories from other world leaders, he wraps up the full story of one of the undisputed greats in a thousand years of monarchy. Hardman distils Elizabeth's complex life?into a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal. It is a portrait of a world leader who will always be as intriguing as the day she came to the Throne at age twenty-five. With peerless access to members of the Royal Family, staff, friends and royal records,?Queen of Our Times?brings fresh insights and scholarship to the modern royal story.
