The next book is"White Queen", which is the story of Elizabeth Woodville-daughter of Jacquetta of Luxembourg.
She fell in love with the young King Edmund (although the people of that time say it is through witchcraft), secretly marries him and after strengthening his position in the state, the king brings his wife to the castle, and with her, her whole, big family.
The Queen, with her introduction to the castle, begins to look for good parties for her sisters and brothers, so that in the event of danger she may have family support.
This is not liked by people at the court at the time, because they believe that the queen rules the country from behind the throne of the king, and the king does not argue.
All the conspiracies, rumours and alleged spells of the queen and her mother.
But the life of kings is not littered with roses, and it is after the sudden death of King Elizabeth that he hides with his daughters in the church's underground. His older son is being held by his uncle in the Tower, and his young son goes abroad in the night.
But this is just a book version because the historian really does not know what happened to the princes in the Tower.
The next part of this series is"The kingmaker`s daughter".
This is the story of one of the daughters of the most powerful man of that time, Richard Nevill, who once fought with Edmund from York against Margaret of Anjou, and then turned against him and put his brother and his daughter on his throne, and later to unite with Margaret of Anjou and to put her son on the throne with her other daughter.
Unfortunately, he failed to do any of these things because Edmund, who was his mentee, learned his strategy well from his cousin and defeated him.
Anna, after an unfortunate marriage to Prince Edward, quickly becomes widows and gets under the care of her sister, who considers her a traitor and makes her unhappy.
The girl is lucky because the younger brother of the king falls in love with her and helps her escape.
After many years, she manages to implement her father's plan and becomes the queen of England, not for long, but still.
She died a few months after the death of her only son on March 16, 1485, on the day when the total solar eclipse occurred.
Another woman who played her role in the war of roses can be found in the book "The Red Queen".
We will find here a woman fighting for her beliefs that her son should become the next king.
Margaret Beaufort, the forgotten founder of the Tudor family.
Being a thirteen-year-old girl, she is married to a man twice as old as her and quickly widows, but from her marriage, a boy-Henry Tudor was born.
Today, we could say that she was a devotee who was always kneeling in the church and convinced that God had chosen her son as king of England.
She sends his son along with his uncle abroad and conspires herself, and despite unfavourable times and for the price of everything, she wants to put his son on the throne.
And she manages to do so even though she must have been able to commit crimes and marry her son with the daughter of Elizabeth Woodville, who she hated.
And all this to satisfy her ambitions so she can sign her letters with Margaret Regina incantations.
And the last book in this series is "The White Princess".
The eldest daughter of King Edmund and Elizabeth Woodville, who is in love with his king Richard and plans a wedding together, but unfortunately the king dies on the battlefield and Henry Tudor sits on the throne and it is Elizabeth who must give her hand.
She hates her husband, hates her mother-in-law, does not agree with what is happening to her mother, but humbly accepts her role, gives birth to her son and other children. In time she even falls in love with her husband.
But as we already know, happiness does not last forever and a rival appears who claims to be one of the lost princes from Tower and her brother.
This is not an easy time for the princess, the more that her cousin and pretender to the throne, which could threaten Henry is imprisoned in the Tower and for many years at the urging of his cousin trying to free the cousin.
Unfortunately, she fails to save her brother and cousin who was beheaded, and her eldest son, Artur, declines to die a few months after married with a Spanish princess and he dies.
Although the court ladies and queens did not have much to do but get well married and have a son, they also had great ambitions and even bigger ones than their husbands or sons.
I invite you to explore history, because it really is impressive and full of secrets, and who does not like to read is invited to watch the films from the series "White Queen" and "White Princess".
Finally, I found interesting, well-read historical books about the war of two roses in the 15th century England.
I must say that I am terribly tempted by these intrigues at royal courts, poisons, public executions, battles and fights for the throne, but also beautiful princesses, lavish lunches and balls, well, not one girl wanted to be a princess.
Oh sorry, after reading these books, I'd rather be an ordinary wife of the innkeeper.
I was looking for something about the war of roses, and at the same time it would not be too boring a historical book.
And what you ask for it you have. Like dinner on a plate in a restaurant.
Let's start with the esteemed writer Philippe Gregory, a historian who in England was hailed as "the queen of English historical fiction".
You can not say that she only writes fictions because there are many historical facts in her books. Anyway, at the end of every book, she writes what is not a historical truth but only her thoughts on how the story could have happened, give the authors of the books from which she drew historical knowledge.
After all, not everything is known in history, because the queen did not write down in her diary that she poisoned her sister-in-law, killed her best friend's sons - we can only guess.
A series of five books.
You could say that they are written like diaries that they wrote in those
times, ladies from good homes and these are the main women from the war of the two roses or war cousins who, pushed with their own ambitions, play significant roles in the kingdom (after all, every mother wants to see her son on the throne of England).
You can not choose only one book, eg. for the Queen of England, but you have to read all five because then you have to watch everything.
And so the queen only writes about her good sides, about her colorful life, balls, dinners and battles her husband Edward IV chooses for.
But before we read about her royal life, we must first read where she came from on the English throne and in England in general.
And the first book I recommend "The lady of the Rivers" and this is the story of the life of Jacquetta of Luxemburg, mother of Elizabeth Woodville.
The eldest daughter of Piotr I of Luxembourger and Margaret de Baux.
At the beginning of the book, we meet Jacquetta, who which establishes a relationship with Joanne d`Arc in her uncle's prison and is the world of its burning at the stake, which makes her think that her "gift" is not welcome in Christian Europe.
At the age of 17, she married John, Prince Bedford (he was the brother of King Henry V), who died after two years of childless marriage and here in the book there is another legend.
Apparently, the Luxembourg dynasty derives from the legendary river goddess Meluzyna, who was the grandmother of Siegfried and the first count of Luxemburg, and her first husband wants to find a philosopher's stone and change metal into gold, so he goes to astrologers and they inform him that he will be lucky if he takes Jacquetta as a wife, but she must be a virgin, because then her "visions" will be cleaner.
During this marriage, Jacquetta falls in love with Richard Woodville's squire and Chamberlain.
She knows that after a year mourning for her husband, the King of England will show her a new husband and marry Richard for love and thus lose her lands and titles given to her by her husband, she was also forbidden to stay outside the court and was assigned a one-year annuity of 1,000 pounds.
This changed when the wife and queen of England became Margaret , whose brother was Jacquetta's brother-in-law and under the pressure of Queen Henry, recognized her marriage, reinstated Richard and appointed Baron Rivers , and two years later, the Knight of the Garter.
The book shows how much the queen relied on Jacobin and always asked her advice and and even asks her for divination, Jacquetta was always devoted to the queen and of course you can not overlook how much she loved her husband, and every his return from Caleis(which at that time belonged to England) was crowned with the birth of another child (and there were 14).
Jacquetta is not happy to use his divination skills, because she knows what it threatens, but she sees the future and can not believe that this is how the fate of Queen and her daughter Elizabeth are to go.
But read about it in this book.
I find on Amazon fantastic book with this title which intrigued me.
I see then I have no trouble read in English and I can read some books that have not been translated or will be translated later.
"The keeper of lost things" seemed to me a very strange book.
Such an everyday life of an older man who likes to accumulate lost things.
The beginning of a book is...simple:
"Charles Bramwell Brockley was travelling alone and without a ticket on the 14.42 from London Bridge to Brighton.
The Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin in which he was travelling teetered precariously on the edge of the seat as the train juddered to a halt at Haywards Heath.But just as it toppled forward towards the carriage floor it was gathered up by a safe pair of hands.(...)
Nothing surprised Anthony any more,but loss always moved him,however great or small.From a drawer he took a brown paper luggage label and a gold-nibbed fountain pen.He wrote carefully in black ink;the date and time,and the place very specific:
Huntley&Palmers biscuit tin containing cremation remains?
Found,sixth carriage from the front,14.42 train from London Bridge to Brighton.
Deceased unknown.God bless and rest in peace."
I did not find anything interesting here, but I thought:"You have to give this book a chance".
Then there is the woman, the divorcee, who somehow wants to put her life together.
She values the housekeeper's job with an older gentleman and falls in love with his stylish, Victorian home with a garden full of roses.
Unfortunately, the older man is dying but rather wants to bond with his beloved in the garden where together years ago they planted roses.
The house, just before Antoni's death, is rewritten in Laura's decent and interesting things begin to happen in her life.
She already knows Freddy well, who has been in the garden and is still nursing him and ...he is in love with her.
The next person she meets is a girl with Down syndrome who loves to brew tea and ... can read the stories of things stored in the room and even feel the feelings of the person involved with the lost thing.
At home suddenly strange things start to happen and writing this I mean really strange things.
I never had anything to do with spirits even the good ones, but if I had to wake up every morning and listen to one melody from the album, excuse me, but I'm leaving.
You can also find a romantic theme there, but it's not as intrusive as other romances. This is what I like.
Some dates, common nights, pub grub, but this is not the main thread of the book.
There is one more story in this book that appears here at random, but at the end, it turns out that it has much to do with the story of the lost things. One could say that these are just a few of the chapters that are the main message of the book.
I have to say that I love books that naturally show life. Such as the ordinary, a little experienced by fate and puzzles (because you never know what awaits you around the corner of the room and even home).
It's one of those books I like to read when it rains outside, then you can brew yourself a "cup of great tea", disappear somewhere in Laura's Victorian home, look at the wonderful roses and inhale their smells, look at the dog lying by the fireplace, where the fire dances happily warming the room.
I sincerely invite you
to read
and take an extraordinary
journey!!!
Is not life amazing?
For others, simple and without bends, you can say so sloppy.
Without any lofty experiences, incredible deep feelings and emotions, without any mental shocks.
Like a desert.
Empty and dry.
But not our hero.
His experiences are so deep and moving, it can not just end up in the middle of the book and walk away.
In recent days,I had the pleasure to see the second part of this film.
Not very well remember the first part.I know that the young boy went to college and one of his teachers at the first lesson wished to students posted on the paper declaration that God is dead.
Young student deeply religious opposed it, and the teacher said that since so it has three days to prove him and the class that God really exists.
In the beginning was...the game?
It should not begin like this.
But this never happens(maybe happen) that on the basis of games created stories and books, and later film.
Or maybe I'm wrong, if so correct me (I will not be offended).
I do not know whether moving games on the big screen is a good idea, but somehow it does not appeal to me-I am sorry, but it's not my department.
And the next book comes to the end.
When I got the sample from Amazon "My secret sister" something intrigued me in her extremely.
The title itself is mysterious, let alone these few pages that I spreading for free.
The story was so real and so moving, they immediately bought the rest of it ...
And what I love about Kindle?
This is not the title of the book, although the main thread is the search for a colleague of our hero.After just one day, the boy does not appear to work and .... Yes, yes, you read well, just comes to work for a volunteer,and there would not be a wonder if not the fact that in addition to not insert at work,he is not even at home and not answer the phone.
But let's start from the beginning.
Completely by accident I bought my mom a Christmas book "The Cell".
