Eternas : Historias de grandes reinas de todos los tiempos

In her first non-fiction book, historical novelist María Reig gives voice to nine women who changed the course of the world. From Cleopatra to Sisi, by way of Isabella I of Castile, Catherine the Great, and Marie Antoinette, Eternas invites us to look squarely at the sovereigns who defied their time and forged their own destinies. With evocative prose and a contemporary approach, María Reig reconstructs the lives of these legendary figures from within. Each chapter relives, in the first person, a revealing moment from their biographies: a crucial decision, a crossroads, a gesture of power or vulnerability. Thus, History takes shape and voice in these women who were so much more than their crowns. Accompanied by the dazzling portraits of Elisa Ancori, Eternas is a literary and visual tribute to monarchs who left their mark. A work intended for readers who seek more than just facts in History: a way to understand the present through those who, against all odds, conquered their place in it.
