Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La sorprendente historia de Maximiliano de México y su imperio En 1864, hacía cuarenta años que México había obtenido su independencia de España y apenas una década desde que el país perdiera la mitad de su territorio frente a Estados Unidos. La nación se encontraba desgarrada por una reciente guerra civil entre conservadores y liberales, y el Gobierno liberal de Juárez debía afrontar cada vez más problemas: ahora, a los tumultos internos y una acuciante deuda externa se le sumó la llegada a México de Maximiliano, un archiduque Habsburgo que, respaldado por las tropas francesas de Napoleón III, reclamaba el trono imperial mexicano. En una narración ágil y trepidante, el historiador Edward Shawcross nos ofrece el relato de una de las historias más extraordinarias del siglo XIX, en la que la vida teje una trama que oscila entre la tragedia, la ópera bufa y el drama político. El último emperador de México nos traslada a un momento y lugar atravesado de tensiones: seremos testigos del enfrentamiento entre la América republicana y la Europa monárquica, y del desafío de la pujante Francia de Napoleón III a la doctrina Monroe impulsada por unos Estados Unidos enzarzados en su propia guerra civil. Entretanto, la sangre derramada decidirá el destino de México. Descubre la apasionante historia del archiduque de Austria que ascendió al trono mexicano, y la de una república que se convirtió temporalmente en imperio. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Rigorously researched, endlessly illuminating. The People's Emperor is a real page-turner'ED CONWAY'This is a book written to be enjoyed: it's a gripping, fascinating biography' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'Bold, brilliant and often bonkers, The People's Emperor is a thunderously good read'JUSTIN MAROZZIBorn into imperial splendour, Louis-Napoleon - the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte - grew up far from power after the defeat at Waterloo. In exile, he repeatedly plotted, unsuccessfully, to restore his uncle's empire. Few took him seriously.But what followed is one of the most astonishing, impossible stories in history. Aged 40, Louis-Napoleon would be elected president of France. Three years later, he seized power to become emperor.Napoleon III's story is one of self-belief, political skill and radical innovation - the first person to master mass democratic politics and populism. Yet, despite being one of the most important trailblazers of the nineteenth century, he is largely misunderstood today, if not totally forgotten.His strange rise and catastrophic fall is a story of both tragedy and farce, set during some of France's most tumultuous decades. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''Hilarious, heartbreaking and utterly extraordinary.'' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times Books of the Year'Superbly entertaining.' Financial Times'Jaw-dropping.' Sunday Times'Fascinating.' Guardian'Gripping.' The Times'Terrific . . . A page-turning history of imperial hubris and nemesis, deceit and delusion, love and betrayal on a grand scale.' Sunday TimesIn 1864, a young Austrian archduke by the name of Maximilian crossed the Atlantic to assume a faraway throne. He had been lured into the voyage by a duplicitous Napoleon III. Keen to spread his own interests abroad, the French emperor had promised Maximilian a hero's welcome. Instead, he walked into a bloody guerrilla war. With a head full of impractical ideals - and a penchant for pomp and butterflies - the new 'emperor' was singularly ill-equipped for what lay in store.This is the vivid history of this barely known, barely believable episode - a bloody tragedy of operatic proportions, the effects of which would be felt into the twentieth century and beyond.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The "superbly entertaining and well-researched" (Financial Times) history ofMaximilian and Carlota, the European aristocrats who stumbled into power in Mexicoand faced bloody consequences. In the 1860s, Napoleon III, intent on curbing the rise of American imperialism, persuaded a young Austrian archduke and a Belgian princess to leave Europe and become the emperor and empress of Mexico. They and their entourage arrived in a Mexico ruled by terror, where revolutionary fervor was barely suppressed by French troops. When the United States, now clear of its own Civil War, aided the rebels in pushing back Maximilian's imperial soldiers, the French army withdrew, abandoning the young couple. The regime fell apart. Maximilian was executed by a firing squad and Carlota, secluded in a Belgian castle, descended into madness. Assiduously researched and vividly told, The Last Emperor of Mexico is a dramatic story of European hubris, imperialist aspirations clashing with revolutionary fervor, and the Old World breaking from the New.…
