Margarita de Valua ( 1553 - 1615 ) - Shishkina V.

The book offered to the Russian and foreign readers contains the works of Marguerite de Valua, queen of France and Navarra (1553-1615), better known as the queen Margot. We are talking about her Memoirs and selected letters, political in content, magnificent examples of late Renaissance literature in France, which are also of great historical interest.

Margue de Valois, of course, would have been very flattered by the honor she has been given now: her memoirs have been translated into Russian, with appropriate commentary. I was a witness to the great tragedies of my era, so this great reader of Plutarch's "Life of Famous People" also considered herself worthy to be known by enlightened people of all times. The writings she wrote show that she was not wrong about that.
