В последнее время много говорят о том, сколько сделали для России люди 18-го века: Екатерина II царица, Суворов, Потёмкин, которые подбирались к Босфору, создавая Новороссию. Там на этой русской территории сейчас сносят памятники этим великим людям. Для христианского, православного, русского мира по мнению этих людей важно было освободить главный город Византийской империи, подарившей нам нашу веру в Бога, важнее чего ничего в мире нет. Медленно подбирались к Константинополю-Царьграду. И если в девяностые годы девизом стали слова: «Вы мне ещё за Севастополь ответите», то теперь, пожалуй, пора произнести вслед за Алексеем Балабановым: «Вы мне ещё за Константинополь ответите».

A stunning novel set in the Tudor court, from the Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Philippa Gregory.I would have been a fool indeed to tell the truth in this court of liars…1553. King Edward is on his deathbed, and the future of the Tudor dynasty swings perilously.Forced out of Spain by the Inquisition, Hannah Green arrives in a volatile kingdom. She is identified as a seer and sworn into the service of Robert Dudley, the son of King Edward’s protector and a key player at court. Her task: to keep watch on Princess Mary, the forgotten heir.Mary’s grip on the Crown is fragile. Elizabeth, Mary’s half-sister, is ready to take England’s throne. Caught in the rivalry between the daughters of Henry VIII, Hannah must navigate her way through a treacherous court if she is to survive.

Elizabethan England, and a dastardly Spanish plot to take over the throne is uncovered. It’s up to Agent Archie Noble to save Queen and country in this saucy and swashbuckling romp from the bestselling author of The Flashman Papers and The Pyrates.Spoiled, arrogant, filthy rich, and breathtakingly beautiful, the young Lady Godiva Dacre is exiled from the court of Good Queen Bess (who can’t abide red-haired competition) to her lonely estate in distant Cumberland, where she looks forward to bullying the peasantry and getting her own imperious way. Little does she guess that the turbulent Scottish border is the last place for an Elizabethan heiress, beset by ruthless reivers (many of them unshaven), blackmailing ruffians, fiendish Spanish plotters intent on regime change and turning Merrie England into a ghastly European Union province.And no one to rely on but her half-witted blonde school chum, a rugged English superman with a knack for disaster, and a dashing highwayman who looks like Errol Flynn but has a Glasgow accent. To say nothing of warlocks, impersonators, taxi-drivers riding brooms, burlesque artists, the drunkest man in Scotland, and several quite normal characters — oh, yes, gossips, it’s all happening in The Reavers, a moral tale obviously conceived in some kind of fit by Flashman author George MacDonald Fraser … well, he’s getting on, and was bound to crack eventually. He admits (nay, insists) that it’s a crazy story for readers who love fun for its own sake.

But can she tread the precarious line between duty to her husband, loyalty to her son, and her obligation to God and the king?When tragedy befalls Edward’s reign, Richard of York’s ruthless actions fire the ambition of mother and son. As their destinies converge each of them will be exposed to betrayal and treachery and in their gruelling bid for The Tudor Crown, both must be prepared to pay the ultimate price…
