ill., br. Christine Marie di Francia (o Cristina di Borbone), Prima Madama Reale alla corte dei Savoia nel XVII secolo, donna affascinante e colta, abituata a ricevere ospiti e a dare memorabili feste.

br. Superando la tradizionale interpretazione "risorgimentista", il volume rilegge la storia del Regno meridionale alla vigilia del crollo sulla base di una nuova documentazione archivistica. Ne emerge la trama appassionante e poco nota dei tentativi della monarchia borbonica di gestire la crisi che la stringe dal 1848. Le aperture di Ferdinando II verso i liberali, la rimodulazione degli equilibri politici tra Napoli e la Sicilia, il rilancio delle opere pubbliche, le ambigue relazioni diplomatiche con il Piemonte cavouriano disegnano scenari inediti che rendono assai meno scontata la soluzione unitaria del 1860.

The Poison King describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals. ; 448 pages
