Taschenbuch. Condition: NEW. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'A Versailles Christmas-Tide' is a historical novel written by Mary Stuart Boyd. It provides readers with a glimpse into the extravagant world of the Palace of Versailles during the late 18th century, particularly during the Christmas season. Published in 1905, the book combines elements of historical fiction, romance, and drama.The story is set in the magnificent and opulent Palace of Versailles, the grand French royal residence, during the final years of the Ancien Régime. It takes place against the backdrop of the French Revolution, which would soon bring about the downfall of the monarchy. The narrative is marked by the stark contrast between the lavish, extravagant lifestyle of the French court and the gathering storm of revolution outside the palace walls.At the heart of the story is the romance between two fictional characters, Lady Sue Rawson and Captain Percy Blakeney. Sue, a British aristocrat, is visiting Versailles with her family, and Percy is a dashing officer who becomes entangled with her. The novel explores their burgeoning love and the challenges they face amid the volatile political climate and societal expectations.The Christmas season serves as a backdrop for the narrative, with scenes of festive celebrations, glittering balls, and elaborate feasts that showcase the excesses of the French court. The opulence of Versailles contrasts with the growing discontent and poverty experienced by the French population.'A Versailles Christmas-Tide' provides a historical and atmospheric account of life within the palace walls, where the aristocracy seemed oblivious to the suffering of the common people. As the revolution looms on the horizon, the novel captures the tension and uncertainty of the time.Mary Stuart Boyd's writing in this book reflects her meticulous research into the period, and she creates a vivid portrayal of the historical setting and the complex characters. The book explores themes of love, class, political upheaval, and societal change. It offers a window into the decadence and extravagance of the French court while also highlighting the brewing unrest that would lead to significant historical events. Boyd's novel is a compelling work of historical fiction that immerses readers in the world of Versailles during a pivotal moment in history. Seller Inventory # 9781835524947
