Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy and a pivotal figure in the country's history. The author draws heavily on the work of Signor Massari to piece together Victor Emmanuel's significance, providing a comprehensive and highly detailed account. Beginning with Victor Emmanuel's birth in 1820, the book places his life within the broader context of Italy in the 19th century. The author explores the monarch's devout Catholicism, love for his country, and intense dislike of dishonesty. Victor Emmanuel emerges as a complex character, torn between his loyalty to the Church and his desire for a unified, secular Italy. The author also considers how the complexities of his character informed his rule, including his vexed relationship with the Papacy, his wartime alliance with France and England, and his eventual success in uniting the Italian peninsula under one flag. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in 19th-century European history and the birth of modern Italy.
