Margaret George

Memoirs of Cleopatra

Margaret George's exhaustively researched novel skillfully weaves both historical fact and plausible fiction in bringing the story of Mary Queen of Scots to life. She was a child crowned a queen.... A sinner hailed as a saint.... A lover denounced as a whore... A woman murdered for her dreams... Margaret George's Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles brings to life the fascinating story of Mary, who became the Queen of Scots when she was only six days old. Raised in the glittering French court, returning to Scotland to rule as a Catholic monarch over a newly Protestant country, and executed like a criminal in Queen Elizabeth's England, Queen Mary lived a life like no other, and Margaret George weaves the facts into a stunning work of historical fiction. "With a seamless use of original letters, diaries, and poems: a popular, readable, inordinately moving tribute to a remarkable queen." -- Kirkus Reviews

While Nero idealizes the artistic and athletic principles of Greece, his very survival rests on his ability to navigate the sea of vipers that is Rome. The most lethal of all is his own mother, a cold-blooded woman whose singular goal is to control the empire. With cunning and poison, the obstacles fall one by one. But as Agrippina's machinations earn her son a title he's both tempted and terrified to assume, his determination to escape her thrall will shape him into the man he was fated to become, an emperor who became legendary.

Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles

Ihre Schönheit war Legende, ihr Reichtum grenzenlos, ihre Macht gefährlich. Man verglich sie mit einer Spinne, die in ihrem Netz jeden römischen General fing, der so tollkühn war, sich in den Orient hinauszuwagen: Kleopatra VII., die letzte Pharaonin Ägyptens, die Geliebte von Julius Caesar und Marcus Antonius.In ihrem sorgfältig recherchierten Monumentalwerk läßt Margaret George die Geschichte einer klugen Herrscherin erstehen, die mit List auf den Thron gelangt und mit Weitblick regiert, um ihren Untertanen die römische Knechtschaft zu ersparen. Zugleich ist es das Tagebuch einer sinnlichen Frau, die vor Lebensfreude sprüht, aber auch den Tod nicht scheut, um ihre Kinder und ihr Land zu retten.

Emperor Nero: The Splendour Before The Dark

Esta é um romance ambicioso e envolvente sobre Maria Madalena, a amada discípula e companheira de Jesus. Mas quem foi de facto esta mulher? Uma prostituta? Uma representação do sagrado feminino? Uma líder da igreja? Ou todas elas? As referências bíblicas a Maria Madalena são surpreendentemente breves e continuam a provocar controvérsia ou veneração. Sustentada em investigações históricas e bíblicas, Margaret George recria a vida de Maria Madalena de forma soberba. Da adolescência como uma menina comum - com os seus sonhos, visões, erotismo e encontro com Jesus - até à sua transformação numa mulher adulta que vive uma notável transformação espiritual. A Paixão de Maria Madalena transcende a História e a ficção para se transformar num verdadeiro diário da alma, uma viagem pessoal e espiritual que não deixará nenhum leitor, mas particularmente nenhuma leitora, indiferente.

Grounded in both biblical and secular history, Margaret George narrates the first hundred years of the first millennium, sweeping away the legends and myths that have grown up around Mary. From her early life to her possession by demons, from her acceptance as a part of the circle of disciples to her struggles with the divine, Mary, Called Magdalene encompasses the sweep of a singular life, transcending the both history and fiction to become the 'Diary of a soul'.
