About the Book

Los aires en la Europa de 1770 aun son tranquilos para la nobleza. Con apenas catorce años, Maria Antonieta deja su tierra y su familia para convertirse en la futura emperatriz de Francia. A pesar de su logico nerviosismo y sus dudas, sus nuevos subditos la reciben con afecto e ilusion y ella se adapta poco a poco a su nueva realidad. Pero una pena inmensa invade su corazon: los años pasan y su esposo, el futuro Luis XVI, evita la consumacion del matrimonio. Luego, la muerte de su madre, sumada a la crueldad de las intrigas cortesanas, va alejando a la joven de sus buenas intenciones iniciales. Poco a poco la joven reina comienza a aislarse de los crecientes problemas sociales, lo que no la favorece para nada a los ojos de sus subditos, y menos aun cuando las cosechas se pierden, el invierno recrudece y las deudas y el hambre incitan el deseo de venganza y rebelion. Toda la nobleza francesa se ve cada vez mas atrapada por el espiritu revolucionario de una epoca que luego culminaria en el oscuro periodo llamado "el Terror". Maria Antonieta se convierte en objeto de odio y resentimiento para aquellos que alguna vez la quisieron. Y su vida, como la de todos aquellos nobles que no pudieron ver los nuevos caminos del pueblo, tendra un implacable final. / Marie Antoinette was a child of fourteen when her mother, the Empress of Austria, arranged for her to leave her family and her country to become the wife of the fifteen-year-old Dauphin, the future King of France. Coming of age in the most public of arenaseager to be a good wife and strong queenshe warmly embraces her adopted nation and its citizens. She shows her new husband nothing but love and encouragement, though he repeatedly fails to consummate their marriage and in so doing is unable to give what she and the people of France desire most: a child and an heir to the throne. Deeply disappointed and isolated in her own intimate circle, and apart from the social life of the court, she allows herself to remain ignorant of the country's growing economic and political crises, even as poor harvests, bitter winters, war debts, and poverty precipitate rebellion and revenge. The young queen, once beloved by the common folk, becomes a target of scorn, cruelty, and hatred as she, the court's nobles, and the rest of the royal family are caught up in the nightmarish violence of a murderous time called "the Terror".
