Recenzii
Magisterial ... Tremlett's contention, which he supports with a sublime presentation of facts and interpretation, is that Isabella represents the first member in the exclusive club of great European queens who exercised sovereign power in their own hand
Richly enjoyable . He seeks to understand his subject, while never underplaying the appalling impact of some of her decisions. Packed with vivid character sketches and lyrical description, Tremlett has told a gripping story, full of beauty and darkness
A triumphant and chilling account of the rise of Spain and its New World conquests
Magnificent
This is a most enjoyable book - a lively, intense page-turner written in straight-forward, unpretentious prose . Tremlett balances academic scholarship with journalistic flair to produce an enthralling biography
Tremlett uses his gifts as a writer on Spain's history to offer us a voluminous biography with fluent and evocative narrative that fully exploits the romantic aspects of the age
