Fully revised and updated. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, with a reign even longer than Queen Victoria. Her extraordinary life is expertly portrayed by Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, in this magnificent visually led biography.

Lisää dramatiikkaa nuoren Elisabetin elämään tuo yllättävä suhde Kreikan komeaan mutta rutiköyhään prinssi Philipiin, jonka ilmestymistä nuoren prinsessan elämään hovi ei katso hyvällä.Kun Elisabetin isän terveys romahtaa toisen maailmansodan jälkimainingeissa, joutuu prinsessa kansakuntansa valokeilassa miettimään uudelleen paikkaansa maailmassa ja tulemaan siksi hallitsijaksi, joksi kohtalo on häntä ohjannut.

Alfred Kubin
Drawing obsessions The ALBERTINA modern exhibition presents Alfred Kubin’s view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. The aesthetics of evil prove to be the antithesis of a tranquil idyll for him, one of the most outstanding drawing artists of the twentieth century. Trapped in his fantasies, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream apparitions and a pronounced fear of the feminine, the night, and fate. This catalogue explores Kubin’s graphic cosmos of the ominous, his nightmares and obsessions and the iconography of evil.
