Life at the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette has long captivated readers, drawn by accounts of the intrigues and pageantry that came to such a sudden and unexpected end. Stefan Zweig's Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Average Woman is a dramatic account of the guillotine's most famous victim, from the time when as a fourteen-year-old she took Versailles by storm, to her frustrations with her aloof husband, her passionate love affair with the Swedish Count von Fersen, and ultimately to the chaos of the French Revolution and the savagery of the Terror. An impassioned narrative, Zweig's biography focuses on the human emotions of the participants and victims of the French Revolution, making it both an engrossingly compelling read and a sweeping and informative history.Certainly no one can arise unmoved from the reading of this powerful work. -- The New Republic Collectible Shipping/Handling/Insurance/Tracking Included within the continental U.S. (Free Shipping).

This is a biography of Erasmus (1469-1536), one of the most famous Humanist of his time-a great scholar of the northern Renaissance, a pacifist, a contrarian, and the compiler of the first edition of the Greek New Testament to be printed and distributed. He hated bigotry, desired freedom and independence, and was called "the man who laid the egg that Luther hatched." He is similar to the liberal minds of our own times.
