    Dornenschwestern / Rosenkrieg Bd.4
    Geliebte Schwester. Erbitterte Rivalin. Der mächtige Herzog Richard Neville, Vater der jungen Schwestern Anne und Isabel, schäumt vor Wut. Denn all seinen Einflüsterungen zum Trotz hat der liebesblinde König Edward IV. weit unter seinem Stand geheiratet - die schöne Elizabeth Woodville, eine skandalöse Verbindung. Dabei verdankt Edward den Thron ihm allein, ihm, dem «Königsmacher».Heimlich vermählt Neville seine Töchter mit den nächsten Thronanwärtern, intrigiert, bläst zum Angriff auf das Königshaus - und scheitert. Wie Spielbälle katapultiert sein Machthunger die Schwestern als Thronanwärterinnen in die Höhe oder als Landesverräterinnen in den Abgrund. Mit aller Kraft versuchen Anne und Isabel, ihr Schicksal in die eigenen Hände zu nehmen und den größten Wunsch ihres Vaters zu erfüllen: die englische Krone für einen König aus dem Hause Neville.

    Mathilda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
    The second novel from Mary Shelley, written in 1819-20 but not published in full until 1959. The story deals with common romantic themes but also incest and suicide. Narrating from her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story of her unnamed father’s confession of incestuous love for her, followed by his suicide by drowning; her relationship with a gifted young poet called Woodville fails to reverse Mathilda’s emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death. The act of writing this short novel distracted Mary Shelley from her grief after the deaths of her one-year-old daughter ,Clara, at Venice in September 1818 and her three-year-old son, William, in June 1819 in Rome. These losses plunged Mary Shelley into a depression that distanced her emotionally and sexually from Percy Shelley and left her, as he put it, 'on the hearth of pale despair'. The story may be seen as a metaphor for what happens when a woman, ignorant of all consequences, follows her own heart while dependent on her male benefactor. ungekürzt. Language: English.
