Izabela the Valiant: The Story...

Adam Zamoyski

A Spectator Best Book of the Year
Trawling through a vast family archive and arcane sources in half a dozen languages, Adam Zamoyski has revealed the dramatic life of his great-great-great grandmother, an uneducated, vulnerable girl cast into a man’s world.
Her aristocratic position enmeshed her in high politics and close encounters with Frederick the Great, Benjamin Franklin, Rousseau, Joseph II, Marie-Antoinette and Tsar Alexander I, and earned her the enmity of Catherine the Great. She lived through revolution and no less than five wars, in which her cherished homes were devastated, her possessions looted and her children scattered. Caught up in tempestuous love affairs which led her to nervous breakdown and the brink of suicide, exploited by her lovers, she remained undaunted and liberated herself through education. And, unusually for her time, she became a caring mother devoted to her children.
She learned much by travelling extensively around Europe at a time of political and ideological change, and her observations, particularly on Georgian Britain, are remarkable. She gradually won the admiration of learned men and intellectual honours. She pioneered schooling for children of the poor and developed her own educational methods. Fascinated by the power of objects to kindle memories and arouse emotions, she was an avid collector of anything with a sensuous association and built two unique museums to act as teaching aids.
This is a story of triumph over adversity and betrayal. It was not achieved by her looks: ‘I have never been beautiful, but I have sometimes been pretty,’ she wrote. It was achieved by force of character and resilience.
This non-fiction biography of Izabela the Valiant, a woman of character and resilience, takes the reader on a journey through the rebellions and revolutions of her time. Her story, deeply intertwined with the history of Poland, is a captivating exploration of royalty, politics, and personal strength.
For fans of Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II), Martyn C. Rady (The Habsburgs), Norman Davies (George II), Tom Holland (Athelstan), and Simon Sebag Montefiore (Jerusalem).

Power of Now The: Insights on...

Vines Graener

Drawing from Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism, Wallace explores why people feel dissatisfied and discontent. His key argument is that we must let go of our desire for control and instead accept the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of life. 
A significant portion of human unhappiness arises from being consumed by thoughts about the future—seeking assurance of a happy life on earth and, in some cases, in an afterlife. Many people turn to religion for this reassurance, believing it provides the answers to life’s uncertainties and promises salvation after death. Others chase material comforts, such as wealth and possessions, hoping these will provide lasting happiness and security. 
However, neither approach guarantees the fulfillment we seek, as the future is unknowable—a mere abstraction filled with expectations and guesses. Moreover, the pursuit of a pain-free future is inherently flawed. Pleasure and pain are inseparable aspects of the human experience. One cannot exist without the other.
