Una obra monumental escrita por el biógrafo de referencia de la familia real inglesa, Robert Hardman Isabel II no nació para ser reina. Sin embargo, desde su llegada al trono en 1952 se convirtió en una de las principales figuras de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y principios del XXI. Su ingenio y determinación le han permitido dirigir a su familia y a su pueblo durante más de setenta años de cambios sociales sin precedentes. Vivió una Guerra Mundial, se enfrentó a crisis constitucionales y amenazas de muerte, salvó a la Commonwealth, fue testigo de las idas y venidas de sucesivos primeros ministros, conquistó a los líderes mundiales, fue criticada y alabada por los medios de comunicación y condujo a su familia a través de una serie de escándalos públicos que amenazaron la pervivencia de la Monarquía. Con un acceso sin precedentes a la Familia Real, a su personal, a sus amigos y a los Archivos Reales, este libro ofrece una mirada novedosa y rigurosa a nuestra historia contemporánea a través de una de las figuras públicas que mejor la han definido. Robert Hardman, uno de los principales expertos en la Familia Real, ofrece el libro más completo y original sobre la inigualable Isabel II, tanto en calidad de monarca moderna como de mujer de Estado de talla internacional. Se trata de una obra fascinante sobre la supervivencia y la renovación del sistema dinástico, que abarca la abdicación, la guerra, el romance, el desafío y la tragedia. Un retrato único de una líder que sigue siendo tan intrigante hoy como el día en que ascendió al trono a los veinticinco años de edad. «Incluye nuevas revelaciones, detalles apasionantes y anécdotas sorprendentes en cada página. Describe con la misma precisión los asuntos más importantes que los menores, el poder y la familia. Hardman no solo se limita a contar la vida de la Reina, sino que la define a ella y a su época.» Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor de Los Románov y Jerusalén «No solo nos presenta a la verdadera Isabel II, sino que también nos recuerda, a menudo de forma conmovedora, que hemos vivido uno de los mayores reinados de la historia.» Andrew Roberts, autor de Churchill. La biografía «Un retrato bellamente escrito y bien informado de una monarca sin parangón y de una era a la que legará su nombre.» Peter Hennesy, premio Orwell de periodismo ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most thorough, most readable, most original book on the record-breaking Elizabeth II. Shy but with a steely self-confidence; inscrutable despite ten decades in the public eye; unflappable; devout; indulgent; outwardly reserved, inwardly passionate; unsentimental; inquisitive; young at heart. All of these describe Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, reigned through more seismic social change than any monarch in British history. From the Abdication to the Sussexes, from World War II to the loss of her life-long partner, she witnessed family crises on a scale not seen since the days of George III. She was a 21st Century global phenomenon commanding unrivalled respect and affection. Sealed off during the greatest peacetime emergency of modern times, she stuck to her own maxim: ‘I have to be seen to be believed.’ Robert Hardman, the acclaimed and respected author of Her Majesty and Queen of the World has already examined the Queen as a modern monarch and her role as a stateswoman abroad. Now, in this entirely new study, including unpublished Royal Family papers and photographs along with personal stories from other world leaders, he wraps up the full story of one of the undisputed greats in a thousand years of monarchy. Hardman distils Elizabeth's complex life into a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal. It is a portrait of a world leader who will always be as intriguing as the day she came to the Throne at age twenty-five. With peerless access to members of the Royal Family, staff, friends and royal records, Queen of Our Times brings fresh insights and scholarship to the modern royal story.
