The Power and the Glory - Adrian Tinniswood - książka
Producent: Vintage
Adrian Tinniswood offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of late Victorian and Edwardian country homes, where extravagance and intrigue were woven into the fabric of daily life. In the years leading up to World War I, the owners of Britain’s grand estates basked in a period marked by both magnificent glamour and a deep sense of duty. This era was defined by the juxtaposition of ancient noble residences with the lavish homes of wealthy Jewish bankers and Indian princes. It was a time when dukes and duchesses mingled with socialites trained in dance and self-made millionaires who emerged from humble beginnings in Manchester and Birmingham. "The Power and the Glory" delves into this golden age, revealing a period when Britain's country houses were at their most splendid, and life for the elite was unparalleled. Praise for the work comes from various esteemed sources, with Lucy Worsley describing it as a compelling read, Judith Flanders lauding it as a delightful book, and Gareth Russell hailing Tinniswood's expert handling of the subject.
