Grasp Angélique En De Sultan Curated By Anne Golon Text
goodreads. com/refnavhome descargar el libro en formato pdf Despite lacking the focus and depth of the previous three novels, Angelique and the Sultan takes a surprising leap of faith in transporting the action to the Mediterranean regions and to the harem of the reallife Mulai Ismail, Sultan of Morocco.
The attention to historical and period detail almost makes up for the slightly plodding plot certainly the weakest of the Golon novels, to date.
The fourth book in the Angelique series, I read this in High school many years ago, The story line is becoming more romance and far less history, “Dobro je odupirati se smrti, Ali pod uslovom da je se čovek ne boji, Smrt je deo naše igre, našeg života, Uvek sam je smatrao dobrim društvom koje nas uvek prati, Tako idemo napred s dva dobra druga, sa životom i sa smrću, Oba polažu na nas ista prava, Ne smemo od njih praviti čudovišta, Ni od jednog, ni od drugog, Tako je to, i to je samo igra, Glavno je ne izgubiti razum usput, ”
Odlučno odbivši da postane miljenica Luja XIV, Anđelika od Njegovog veličanstva saznaje da njen prvi muž, grof Žofrej od Pejraka prije deset godina nije spaljen na trgu Grev.
Uz gomilu dužnosnika koji su mu tada pokušavali ući u trag, za glasinama je išao i tadašnji Anđelikin advokat, a sadašnji pomočnik šefa policije, Degre.
Anđelikinu suludu odlučnost da nakon deset godina krene u potragu za mužem ojačati će saznanje da je nedugo nakon svog navodnog pogubljenja, Žofrej boravio u palati Botreji i sa sobom odnio sakrivene zlatnike.
Može li ljubav jedne žene biti toliko jaka da, nošena uzburkanim i opasnim vodama Sredozemnog mora dospije čak do Krete na kojoj je trgovina robljem svakodnevnica, a tajanstveni gusari ravnaju sudbinama čak i onih kojima se u visokom društvu svi klanjaju.
I u ovom dijelu historijske sage autorica se nije odrekla svog običaja da stare, često sporedne likove, postavlja na nove pozornice, davajući priči dirljive zaokrete.
Ovdje se nešto više bavi sudarom dviju religija i kultura koje su u sedamnaestom vijeku, pa i danas, često dolazile u dodir.
Kršćanstvo i islam prepliću se u haremu marokanskog sultana Mula Ismaila kome je Veliki evnuh Osman Ferađi za ženu namijenio neukrotivu Anđeliku.
Može li ona još jednom pobjeći vlastitoj sudbini, ili je ova unaprijed određena
Iako je tek zadnjih stotinjak stranica teklo onim tempom kakav sam od ovog serijala navikao dobiti, prevagnula je četvorka zbog svega onoga što bi se moglo dogoditi u sljedećem nastavku.
Barely ok, borderline why am I doing this to myself
Back when I was a teenager, it never would've even occurred to me to read this series now, I've decided to 'marathon' it for the historical interest and to see how long I'd last.
Well, this one is where I throw the white flag for the moment,
The first book instantly alarmed me with its persistent mentions of sexuality and sexual violence it did not seem like a 'light' read to me at all.
Or at least, a relaxing one, Then I pressed on, and Angelique managed to charm me all over again, plus there was surprisingly more atmosphere and history than I expected for a proto 'bodiceripper'.
It's not that the series is shallow or poorly written save for some eyebrowraising turns of phrase, but could also be the translation's faults it's that it's seriously weighed down by all the toxic romance and views about men and/vs.
women!
The Parisian underworld was grotesque, but it was husband, Philippe, who completely disgusted me, Like, I eyeroll at de Peyrac whenever he speaks of love, but Philippe, I wanted to shoot dead personally, Then the books continued their slow but sure slide towards the horrific rape in bookabsolutely,skipping that one, In this instalment, the sheer, objective horror of captivity and slavery, well described in nonfiction like The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh or Andrian Tinniswood's book about Barbary corsairs, is made even scarier by the romance cliches and fetishism.
No amount of personal bravery could counter the icky feeling of needing brain bleach and/or a long shower, Plus, both of my favourites after Angelique Savary and the Grand Eunich die awful and pointless deaths,
OH, and the whole Angelique repeatedly not recognising
Rescator Pure black comedy tbh, Like the other Angelique books, magnificent historical novels that take one toth century France and create a lifelong interest in this fascinating period of history.
Five and more. In this book, Angelique is captured by pirates and becomes a slave in the harem of a tyrant, Exciting as all the other books by Sargeanne Gplon, Doar cateva momente in care Angelica a fost cu sultanul , de aici nu vad de ce cartea are asa Titlu ! Plus sa finisat fara mare inteles,nu mia placut sfarsitul, a fost parca rupt.
My first in a history, romance series I LOVED all of them and was sad when Serge died, The last book, by Anne, clearly showed what Serge added, .stars
is slightly spoilerish
"Of course, it's important, I know you. Nothing would make you bother the police for a joke, With you, it's always something importantyou're about to be murdered, or else commit suicide, or perhaps you've decided to involve the Royal Family in some fiendish scandal, or disobey the Pope.
"
Hah! This is the third book in a long series, and this review will be rather brief to avoid spoiling events from the prior novels, Angelique Bookand Angélique and the King Book.
At the end of book two, Angelique learned that her supposedly dead husband might not be so dead after all, and she's willing to risk everything, including the King's wrath to find him.
Despite the heavy police guard placed on her by the express command of Louis XIV, Angélique slips away, and her feminine charms come in quite handy when she needs to wheedle her way onto one of the King's vessels heading for Crete.
No surprise, but there's no smooth sailing in Angélique's world and after a battle or two at sea and a shipwreck, she's captured and sold as a slave to the highest bidder the notorious pirate Rescator.
Oh, but the fool escapes and lands herself right into the hands and harem of the infamous Sultan of Morocco, Will she survive with her virtue intact, or will that treacherous body of hers betray her once again
"This was the only time in her life that she was ashamed of being a woman and a beautiful one to boot.
She could not help thinking of herself as merely a work of art being inspected by some critical collector pondering its material values only.
She felt as is sic she had been robbed of her soul, "
I did enjoy this book, although there were times when events dragged on too long for my tastes there seemed to be a lot of background being set up for events that will happen in the later books.
I did notice that the edition I read is from a different translator than some of the other editions and read a bit dryer than those and for that I'm knocking off half a star.
Still, jolly good fun and next up is Angelique in Revolt Book, .
