Marija Stuart

Stefan Zweig

Queen of Scotland at the age of six, in 1542, then Queen of France at the age of seventeen through her marriage to Francis II., Maria Stuart is one of the most romantic characters in history.

Widowed in 1560, she returned to Scotland and married Lord Darnley. Disappointed in that marriage, she becomes the lover of the Earl of Bothwell. When the latter killed Darnley, the horror was so great that she had to take refuge with her rival, Elizabeth I, Queen of England. She was held captive for twenty years before being sentenced to death. Her courage in the face of torture will impress the witnesses, to the extent that she will transform what was said to be a criminal into a martyr of the Catholic faith... On this fascinating and controversial figure of British history, the biographer of Marie-Antoinette and the novelist Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman spent is a rigorous investigation, engaging in careful criticism of documents and testimonies. This passionate story brings him back to us with his shadows and his lights, his weaknesses and his greatness.
