    Queen Katherine Parr presents a detailed and impressive portrait, not only of Katherine, but of the whole tortuous, dangerous, treacherous yet brilliant Tudor age in which she lived. An impressive portrait of Henry VIII's brilliant, but often overlooked, sixth and last wife. Perfect for fans of Tracy Borman, Alison Weir and John Guy. A devotee of Renaissance humanism, Protestant firebrand, political intriguer, wily survivor, and early campaigner for the rights of women; there are few figures in Henry VIII's court who had a greater legacy than Queen Katherine Parr. Born into an ancient and wealthy family of Northern gentry, Parr received a thorough introduction into the New Learning advocated by Erasmus and Sir Thomas More before being married off at twelve to a sixty-year-old noble who would die only three years later. She and her second husband, John Latimer, somehow managed to escape condemnation and execution when they flirted dangerously with the rebels in the Pilgrimage of Grace. Yet, it was after Latimer's death that Katherine took the greatest risk by catching the eye of that brutal monarch, Henry VIII. Antony Martienssen utilises a huge assortment of sources to illuminate the dangerous world of Henry's court, exploring how Katherine was able to stay alive and survive when so many others found their necks upon the chopping block. What makes this biography remarkable is the fact that Martienssen demonstrates that Parr was not simply a passive pawn, but a skilled navigator through the dangerous shoals of Tudor politics. Outwitting her arch-enemy, Thomas Cromwell, she was the prime factor in his disgrace and execution. As Henry's final Queen it fell to her to oversee the education of her step-children, the future Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Tutors were chosen steeped in humanism and her brand of Protestantism which particularly shaped Edward and Elizabeth's reigns. Martienssen even shows how it was through Parr's influence that Mary and Elizabeth were restored to the line of succession. 'A biography of King Henry VIII's sixth and last wife, who had the acumen to survive that formidable monarch with her neck intact. Mr Martienssen sees this much-married lady as a woman of character and intellect, a devotee of Humanism in her early life and of the Reformation in her maturity. A pioneer in the growth of feminine influence in affairs of state, Katherine, in his view, was the prime agent of Thomas Cromwell's fall, and played a leading part in moulding the character of the future Queen Elizabeth I' Sunday Telegraph Queen Katherine Parr should be essential reading for all interested in learning more about this remarkable woman, charting the course of her life as she rose from being a young northern gentlewoman to the sixth wife of Henry VIII and ending with her final years spent as guardian to her stepdaughter, Elizabeth.

    "Na noite em que Greta teve a oportunidade de fazer uma mudança definitiva em sua vida que há tempos se arrastava em torno dela, o mar era fustigado por um vento frio e cortante do norte, ela ainda se lembrava bem.Havia decidido: fugiria."Assim começou A LONGA SOMBRA DE UM SONHO. Vidas que se entrelaçam, orgulhos, histórias que se repetem e emoções, paixões... destinos. Greta é uma garota que decide assumir o comando de sua vida, mas que depois percebe que nunca abandonou suas raízes, que entende que uma ferida para ser considerada verdadeiramente curada deve ser dolorosamente limpa para chegar ao cerne do problema. Não há esclarecimento sem primeiro descer ao inferno e voltar para ver o céu. Claro, nada será como antes, mas, se você quer viver e não existir, este é o caminho. Esses são os pontos fortes deste romance, bem articulado, fluindo agradavelmente. Um livro romântico mas não demasiado, que esconde inúmeras ideias e abre múltiplas interpretações, mas acima de tudo é uma análise do homem, entendido como ser vivo, à mercê de uma vida imprevisível.

    Divague Salvador, de Clara Richero Menoni, es un canto a la juventud, a la libertad, a la vida con sus placeres y sus dolores. Más allá de las causas, la joven poeta reivindica la experiencia y el aprendizaje que nos deja el divagar por la vida, transitando las propias emociones, vivencias e ideas de la mejor forma posible; venciendo lo que nos retiene, lo que no nos deja avanzar, escuchándonos a nosotros mismos y, de esa forma, accediendo a la salvación.La voz femenina poética también nos muestra su espíritu sonoro, su solidaridad con las mujeres, su deseo de romper las ataduras que oprimen el derecho de serlo en sociedades que siguen siendo eminentemente patriarcales. Usa su voz, su denuncia, por aquellas que aún no se atreven.>Clara Richero MenoniNació en Montevideo, Uruguay. Escribe desde los 12 años de edad y se encuentra en constante conexión con las artes escénicas y la literatura. Divague Salvador es su primera obra, donde relata experiencias e ideas de su adolescencia a través de la poesía.
