La Belle Créole
Author: Alina García-Lapuerta
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613745397
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The adventurous woman nicknamed La Belle Créole is brought to life in this book through the full use of her memoirs, contemporary accounts, and her intimate letters. The fascinating María de las Mercedes Santa Cruz y Montalvo, also known as Mercedes, and later the Comtesse Merlin, was a Cuban-born aristocrat who was years ahead of her time as a writer, a socialite, a salon host, and a participant in the Cuban slavery debate. Raised in Cuba and shipped off to live with her socialite mother in Spain at the age of 13, Mercedes triumphed over the political chaos that blanketed Europe in the Napoleonic days, by charming aristocrats from all sides with her exotic beauty and singing voice. She married General Merlin in Napoleon's army and discussed painting with Francisco de Goya. In Paris she hosted the city's premier musical salon where Liszt, Rossini, and great divas of the day performed for Rothschilds, Balzac, and royalty. Celebrated as one of the greatest amateur sopranos of her day, Mercedes also achieved fame as a writer. Her memoirs and travel writings introduced European audiences to 19th-century Cuban society and contributed to the debate over slavery. Mercedes has recently been rediscovered as Cuba's earliest female author and one who deserves a place in the canon of Latin American literature.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
The Dark Ages Clan Novel Saga is a 13-volume series of novels set in the world of Dark Ages: Vampire, released by White Wolf from 2002 to the end of 2004. The series begins with Dark Ages Clan Novel 1: Nosferatu and ends with Dark Ages Clan Novel 13: Tzimisce. Inspired by the original modern-day Clan Novel Saga for Vampire: The Masquerade, this series begins with the end of the original Vampire: The Dark Ages era and continued into the time-frame of Dark Ages: Vampire. The 13 novels are written from the POV of one clan each during the turbulence that swept through the mortal and Cainite societies of Europe following the fall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade. These novels, unlike the original Clan Novel Series, are chronological, happening one after the other rather than overlapping. Dark Ages Clan Novel #8 Brujah A City of Blood Paris, capital of the kingdom of france by day and seat of the vampirir grand court by night. But years of strife—from the arrival of doomsaying prophets to the battles of the Inquisition—have left the city teetering on the edge of the chaos. For Veroniqu d'Orleans, Brujah diplomat, the arrival of an ambassador from the Courts of Love—rivals to Paris's Prince Alexander—could be an opportunity to heal old wounds or to extract long-delayed justice. Can she manipulate the various hatreds and rivalries that swirl around the prince and his new guest? Or will she be destroyed by them, as so many others have been?
