A Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert, and the Death That Changed the British Monarchy - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
As she did in her critically acclaimed The Last Days of the Romanovs, Helen Rappaport brings a compelling documentary feel to the story of this royal marriage and of the queen's obsessive love for her husband - a story that began as fairy tale and ended in tragedy.
After the untimely death of Prince Albert, the queen and her nation were plunged into a state of grief so profound that this one event would dramatically alter the shape of the British monarchy. For Britain had not just lost a prince: during his twenty year marriage to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert had increasingly performed the function of King in all but name. The outpouring of grief after Albert's death was so extreme, that its like would not be seen again until the death of Princess Diana 136 years later.
Drawing on many letters, diaries and memoirs from the Royal Archives and other neglected sources, as well as the newspapers of the day, Rappaport offers a new perspective on this compelling historical psychodrama--the crucial final months of the prince's life and the first long, dark ten years of the Queen's retreat from public view. She draws a portrait of a queen obsessed with her living husband and - after his death - with his enduring place in history.Magnificent Obsession will also throw new light on the true nature of the prince's chronic physical condition, overturning for good the 150-year old myth that he died of typhoid fever.

Hardback. Condición: Good. The MASKS of KARLA HOMOLKA - MY INTERVIEWS with KARLA HOMOLKA: The KEN and BARBIE SEX KILLER by Dr. Paul Dawson presents a forensic-clinical psychologist's analysis and detailed scrutiny of Karla Homolka. Karla was the significant other in a notorious, degenerate serial-sex-killer couple known as The Ken and Barbie of Murder and Mayhem operating from 1990 to 1993 out of Ontario, Canada. Additionally, Karla's partner in crime, Paul Bernardo, had a sideline activity as a serial rapist - he was the mysterious Scarborough Rapist who raped dozens of young women. Karla and Paul kidnapped, tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered several pretty teenage girls. While Bernardo was convicted of the rapes and sex-murders and got a life sentence in a maximum prison, Karla managed a sweetheart deal with the devil to escape serious punishment. Karla Homolka did some easy time in a Club-Fed Canadian prison and was released in 2005. She now enjoys a fairy-tale ending with a new husband and three kids on a tropical Caribbean island. Graphic, shocking, and detailed secrets of sex, kidnapping, torture, rape, murder, lies and videotape are revealed in interviews in this book. Sensitive readers are warned that this book includes graphic descriptions of sex crimes and blood-thirsty sex killers' depravity. You should brace yourselves for a bumpy ride exploring the dark side behind Karla and Paul's bond, picture-perfect wedding, and marriage. A must-read for true crime fans seeking a deeper diagnostic evaluation and probe of the infamous Barbie woman serial-sex killer.
