内容説明
At the age of fifteen, Marie Antoinette, beautiful and charming bride to the impotent Dauphin, is plunged into the intrigue of Versailles. Frivolous and reckless, she flouts the strict and demanding etiquette of the glittering court, and discovers the true nature of love, hate and jealousy. But the clouds of revolution are overhead, and Marie Antoinette, who only wishes to enjoy life, learns too late that the price of her enjoyment is very high...'One of our best historical novelists brings to life wayward, capricious Marie Antoinette' - "News Chronicle". '"Flaunting Extravagant Queen" has the colour, liveliness, and sensitivity with which one has come to associate this author's historical novels' - "Scotsman".

三部作のように売られていますが、元は単発作品。マリー・アントワネットの結婚が決まる頃からはじまり、婚約、結婚と話が進んでいきます。
アントワネットについて読みたいなら充分な作品ですが、他の作品が冴えているだけに、なぜフランス革命が起きたのかを社会情勢からも描いてほしかったなと。オルレアン公が扇動してみたり、アメリカで君主のいない国を体験してしまった人たちが王がいなくても国は動くといっているシーンはありましたが、その辺りをもう少し掘り下げてほしかったなと。
アントワネットについて読んでいるだけでは、理不尽すぎてどうしてこの程度のことで殺されなきゃいけないのかわからないですからね。

Love the book but...
2011/7/13
形式:ペーパーバック
I enjoyed the novel very much but as a French speaker I found some of the French extremely grating. For instance, Jean Plaidy refers to Kings Louis XIV, Louis XV and Henri IV as Louis Quatorze, Louis Quinze and Henri Quatre. I made me wince every time I saw this. In the same way, Louis the Well-Beloved is Louis LE Bien-Aimé, not Louis Bien-Amé, and Louis XV's sisters were called Mesdames, not "les Mesdames" which makes no sense in French. I could go on and on. It is a shame because the novel is excellent, but it rather spoilt it for me. Non French speakers will probably not be disturbed and enjoy the book.

This historical novel about Marie Antoinette is very enjoyable. I picked up the book being interested in Marie Antoinette and looking to find out more about her life. The book follows her from the time her wedding to Louis XVI is announced to her death. It is well written with a good pace. It shows well the different sides of her personality and how while she was obviously disconnected from the reality, at the end of her life she remained a humble yet proud person.
I recommend this book to anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with the life of Marie Antoinette and who look for a historically acurate yet enterntaining account of her life.

Are the most tragic figures the only ones remembered?

Poor Marie Antoinette! She was the wrong person in the wrong place in the wrong time. She grew up in the virtuous court of the Hapsburgs and married into that of scandalous France. There, she found a shy husband, admirers, but mostly enemies. Eventually, the King died, and she and Louis became rulers of France. The people were ready to admire the new king and queen, especially when the new rulers declared France would be great. Fueled by power hungry men and women, the people's love soon turned to hate as the people' became poorer and the aristocracy followed Marie Antoinette's lead and became more extravagant. She didn't understand how her foolishness would lead to downfall until it was too late. Things spiraled out of control, and before they knew it, the royal family was prisoners in the hands of their own subjects. And everyone knows the fate of Marie Antoinette after this: the guillotine.
While I was reading this book, I was impatient to finish it, because I wanted to read another one. Even under these circumstances, Jean Plaidy's work never ceased to lose its richness. She is a great author, even to the impatient reader.
