The novels which comprise it, to list them in order of the historical periods they cover, are Burr (1973), Lincoln (1984), 1876 (1976, of course), Empire (1987), Hollywood (1989), Washington, DC (1967) and now The Golden Age. ‘After all, I’m its current biographer.’ With the publication of The Golden Age, the biography draws to a close. ‘Of course I like my country,’ Gore Vidal has written.

In a 2012 interview with ELLE Magazine, she provided a simple explanation for her track record of famous beaus, saying, “Talented, beautiful people tend to fall in love with each other.” Buell worked hard to leave her own imprint on the music industry.

Then, Louis XV died, and the courtiers coming to salute the new nineteen-year-old king found him and his queen on their knees weeping bitterly, "Oh, God," they cried, embracing each other, "protect us we are too young to reign."Īndré Castelot, a distinguished French scholar and historian, has in this book written one of the most brilliant of recent biographies, which makes Marie Antoinette, from her arrival in France, to the day she rode to her death in a cart, amazingly alive for the reader.

Unfortunately, we live in a world (especially post-9/11) that considers Iran and Iranians in general to be "the bad guys." Reading what it's like to grow up in Iran is like reading what it's like to grow up as a young stormtrooper on the Death Star. It tells a first-hand account of what it was like to be raised in Iran. And we're still waiting for a book on Gargamel to tell us why the guy hates Smurfs so much. Grendel tells us Beowulf's nemesis's side of things.
