Описание: Scribe sleuth Christine de Pizan must discover who wants to kill the king in the second of this richly imagined historical mystery series set in fourteenth-century France. Paris, 1393. A masquerade ball at the palace ends in tragedy, with four revelers burned to death. Was it an accident . . . or did someone deliberately hurl a flaming torch at the dancers? Convinced it was an act of murder and that the king himself was the real target, Queen Isabeau has asked Christine de Pizan to spend time at court in an attempt to uncover the identity of the would-be assassin. With the king struck down by an illness no one can understand, Christine finds the palace to be a hotbed of rumor, suspicion, petty rivalries, and dark secrets: a place where no one can be trusted. Could the king's ambitious brother, the Duke of Orleans, be responsible for the deaths? One of his embittered uncles? Or could the killer lie even closer to home?

Описание: Taylor (1825-78) was an American poet, literary critic, translator, travel author, and diplomat. At 17 he was apprenticed to a printer and was encouraged to write poetry by critic and editor Rufus Wilmot Griswald, resulting in the publication of Ximena, or The Battle of the Sierra Morena, in 1844. With the money earned from his poetry and an advance for travel articles, he visited England, France, Germany and Italy, making largely pedestrian tours for almost two years. He sent accounts of his travels to various journals in the US and in 1846 published a collection of these pieces as Views A-Foot. In 1848 he was sent to California to report on the goldrush for the New York Tribune and returned via Mexico, publishing a second collection of travel articles in 1850. Further travels took him to Egypt, Palestine and the Mediterranean countries, and later to India, China and Japan, and he published several more books covering these journies. On his return to the US in 1853 he undertook a successful lecture tour, after which he went to Sweden which inspired his long narrative poem Lars. In 1862 he was appointed to the US diplomatic service as secretary of legation in St Petersburg, and 1863 saw the publication of his first novel, Hannah Thurston. He later embarked on a horseback tour of Colorado and the northern mountains and a trip to Iceland. In 1878 he was appointed US Minister to Prussia but a few months after arriving in Berlin, Taylor died there in December 1878. His body was returned to the US and Longfellow wrote a memorial poem in his memory.
The novel provides the country with an outstanding rendition of the relationship between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Gay activist Bayard Rustin. It takes the reader on a journey that begins in January 1956, when Rustin arrives in Montgomery, Alabama to instruct Dr. King and his followers on how best to utilize the concept of non-violence, as an effective tool to fight the evils of segregation. It continues as Rustin draws up the organizational structure for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and continues as Rustin organizes and coordinates the most famous march in this country's history, the 1963 March for Jobs and Justice in Washington, D.C. There never would have been Dr. King's, "I have a dream speech," delivered that day from the Lincoln Memorial if not for Rustin's organizational skills. In this novel, the authors point out that Human Rights is a value that all people are guaranteed in this country, if we can only get beyond the petty prejudices that still exist. They also answer the question would Dr. King have considered the Gay Movement a civil rights issue? That answer is a resounding yes. For the history buff and readers who want to spend time reading a novel that educates, entertains and empowers, this novel is a must read.
