Es indiscutido el papel fundamental desempeñado por don Juan Carlos en la restauración pacífica de la democracia a la muerte de Franco, como es generalmente aceptado que durante su reinado España ha vivido el periodo más largo de paz, prosperidad y libertades. Sin embargo, el monarca, que podía haber pasado a la historia como el mejor rey de España, se ha visto obligado a abdicar y a exiliarse por su afán de hacerse con una fortuna a base de comisiones ilegales y tráfico de influencias, derrochando su fortuna política, su gran popularidad nacional e internacional.

Elisabetta II è, è stata, e verosimilmente resterà, la regina dei record. È il sovrano che ha viaggiato più di tutti coloro che, prima di lei, hanno indossato una corona. È stata la prima regina a comparire in televisione e anche la prima a dover affrontare una serie di scandali che hanno messo a dura prova la sua pazienza e la sopravvivenza stessa della monarchia. E il 6 febbraio ne ha raggiunto un altro: il Giubileo di Platino, 70 anni seduta sul trono inglese come mai nessuno nella Storia.

Dara Shukoh - the emperor Shah Jahan's favourite son, and heir-apparent to the Mughal throne prior to being defeated by Aurangzib - has sometimes been portrayed as an effete prince, incompetent in military and administrative matters. But his tolerance towards other faiths, and the myths and anecdotes surrounding him, continue to fuel the popular imagination. Even today, over 350 years after his death, the debate rages on: if this 'good' Mughal had ascended the throne instead of his pugnacious younger brother, how would that have changed the course of Indian history?

In his search for answers, Laband turns to the Zulu voice heard through recorded oral testimony and praise-poems, and to the written accounts and reminiscences of the Port Natal trader-hunters and the despatches of Cape officials.

When she got hired to drive for the Saudi royal family vacationing in Beverly Hills, Larson thought she’d been handed the golden ticket. Each day the royal women spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery and mega-shopping sprees on Rodeo Drive.

In the early 1960s, Marie Christine von Reibnitz (who would later become HRH Princess Michael of Kent) lived with her father on his farm in Mozambique. Then just a teenager, Princess Michael was entranced by the African landscape, by the wildlife and by the people she met. It was one of the happiest times of her life, and she recounts that it was an orphaned cheetah cub (called Tess) who played a huge part in making it so.

Part biography, part cultural history, The Creation of Anne Boleyn is a fascinating reconstruction of Anne’s life and an illuminating look at her afterlife in the popular imagination.
