Description
When France was thrown into the flames of the Great Revolution, a web of intrigue spread behind the queen—people called it the very center of all vices—and it was thrown under the guillotine’s blade.
So what really destroyed Marie Antoinette: the rampage of the mob, the wickedness of the aristocracy, or her own light-mindedness?
Marie Antoinette was destined to become Queen of France—though she was born under an unlucky star. Carefree and trusting, she saw life as a chain of pleasures and amusements, not suspecting that beyond the palace there was another world steeped in poverty and hatred. Spoiled by the admiration of courtiers, she didn’t understand how fleeting the crowd’s attention is and how short the reign of power lasts.
