Sinossi

"Versailles Palace" unveils the story of this iconic structure as more than just architecture; it's a symbol of French absolutism, artistic ambition, and a stage for European history. Delving into its origins as Louis XIII's hunting lodge, the book traces its transformation into the lavish royal residence under Louis XIV, highlighting the architectural genius of figures like Le Vau and Hardouin-Mansart. One intriguing aspect is how Versailles served as a tool to control the French aristocracy, projecting an image of unparalleled grandeur and solidifying royal power. The book reveals the intricate interplay between power, art, and society in pre-revolutionary France.

 
The book uses a chronological and thematic approach. Starting with the pre-Versailles era, it progresses through key construction phases, spotlighting iconic areas such as the Hall of Mirrors and the Royal Apartments, before examining court life and political intrigues. "Versailles Palace" also explores the palace's lasting impact as a museum and symbol of French cultural heritage. By examining architectural plans, historical documents, and artistic interpretations, the book offers a multifaceted view of Versailles, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, architecture, and French culture.

    Edinburgh's Festivals - A Biography

    In August 1947, an émigré Austrian opera impresario launched the Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama to heal the scars of the Second World War through a celebration of the arts. At the same time, a socialist theatre group from Glasgow and other amateur companies protested their exclusion from the festival by performing anyway, inventing the concept of 'fringe' theatre.
    Now the annual celebration known collectively as the Edinburgh Festival is the largest arts festival in the world, incorporating events dedicated to theatre, film, art, literature, comedy, dance, jazz and even military pageantry. It has launched careers – from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in Beyond the Fringe to Phoebe Waller-Bridge with Fleabag – mirrored the political and social mood of its times, shaped the city of Edinburgh around it and welcomed a huge all-star cast, including Orson Welles, Grace Kelly, Yehudi Menuhin and Mark E Smith's The Fall and many many more.
    This is its story.

    19: The Musical is the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Inez Milholland and the other suffragists who fought to get women the right to vote - The 19th Amendment. The inspirational story of these fearless women is brought to life through jazz, traditional musical standards style, spoken word, and hints of gospel. Alice Paul and the suffragist's fight for equality have been re-imagined for a new generation with a poignant and uplifting message that will resonate for years to come. 
    Originally created and performed on stage, 19: The Musical has been adapted for a new medium to reach a broader audience through audiobooks.
