Marie Antoinette

Author's name: Stefan Zweig

All of us, or most of us, have read or heard about Queen Marie Antoinette of France, whose throne and that of her husband were overthrown and ended in the guillotine. But where is the truth in the various and fabricated accounts of this queen's personality? Stefan Zweig wrote the story of Marie Antoinette with complete integrity and transparency, analyzing the characters with skill and precision. The book was published by Wasm Publications, translated by Fares Mitri Daher, among distinguished biographies. Quotes from the book Marie Antoinette. The word "revolution" therefore only took on that comprehensive, harsh, historical meaning through the revolution itself. Time alone, not the initial events, imprinted it on blood and thought. At the end of life, formless ideas become clear in the mind, and they become blessed, shining geniuses that land on the peaks of the past.
