Matthew Dennison Knihy

Jedinečný životopis kráľovnej Alžbety II.Pre milióny ľudí na celom svete bola britská kráľovná Alžbeta II. stelesnením monarchie. Na trón nastúpila v roku 1952, vládla teda dlhšie než ktorýkoľvek iný žijúci panovník. Jej panovanie zahŕňalo takmer celé povojnové dejiny Británie − od čias pred veľkou hospodárskou krízou tridsiatych rokov 20. storočia až po éru covidu-19. Matthew Dennison ponúka detailný a zasvätený pohľad na Alžbetin životný príbeh od detstva, dospievania až po panovanie v ére bezprecedentných seizmických zmien. S dôvernou znalosťou zaznamenáva radosti a triumfy, ale aj sklamania a útrapy kráľovského života. Táto kniha čitateľa presvedčí, že pozornosť verejnosti si Alžbeta zaslúžila nielen pre svoje postavenie, ale aj ako výnimočná osobnosť.
