Maria Antoinette (1755-1793), Queen of France, guillotinized by the revolutionary French people. Familiar with his love for outfits and a frivolous statement “If the people do not have bread, let it have cakes,” she at different times caused either hatred or indefatigable praises. In this book, the author, not condemning and praising his heroine, shows it not from the standpoint of political history, but in the context of the everyday life surrounding her, the way her contemporaries – those who loved her, and those who tried to use or destroy her. Maria Antoinette is, first of all, a woman, she lives and loves, without thinking about the inexorable income of history, but at an hour of tests it shows truly royal greatness and power of the spirit.
