About this title

Synopsis

Reine d’�cosse � l’�ge de six jours, en 1542, puis reine de France � dix-sept ans par son mariage avec Fran�ois II, Marie Stuart est veuve en 1560. Elle rentre alors en �cosse et �pouse lord Darnley, avant de devenir la ma�tresse du comte Bothwell. Lorsque ce dernier assassine Darnley, Marie doit se r�fugier aupr�s de sa rivale, �lisabeth Ire, reine d’Angleterre. Celle-ci la retiendra vingt ans captive, avant de la faire condamner � mort. Son courage devant le supplice impressionnera les t�moins, au point de m�tamorphoser celle que l’on disait une criminelle en une martyre de la foi catholique…
Sur cette figure fascinante et controvers�e de l’histoire britannique, le biographe de Marie-Antoinette et romancier de Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d’une femme a men� une enqu�te rigoureuse. Ce r�cit passionn� et critique nous la restitue avec ses ombres et ses lumi�res, ses faiblesses et sa grandeur.

About the Author

N� � Vienne en 1881, fils d’un industriel, Stefan Zweig a pu �tudier en toute libert� l’histoire, les belles-lettres et la philosophie. Grand humaniste, ami de Romain Rolland, d’�mile Verhaeren et de Sigmund Freud, il a exerc� son talent dans tous les genres (traductions, po�mes, romans, pi�ces de th��tre) mais a surtout excell� dans l’art de la nouvelle (La Confusion des sentiments, Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d’une femme), l’essai et la biographie (Marie-Antoinette, Fouch�, Magellan…). D�sesp�r� par la mont�e du nazisme, il fuit l’Autriche en 1934, se r�fugie en Angleterre puis aux �tats-Unis. En 1942, il se suicide avec sa femme � Petr�polis, au Br�sil.
