Description
O mogushchestvennom i egoistichnom Genrihe VIII napisano mnogo: on rassorilsya s papoy rimskim i sozdal sobstvennuyu cerkov', zhenilsya na shesti zhenshchinah i dvuh zhen otpravil na eshafot, kaznil svoego druga, razgrabil monastyri, mechtal o syne, prenebregaya svoimi docheryami, potvorstvoval svoemu chrevougodiyu i v konce koncov soshel v mogilu, pobezhdennyy tyazhkim nedugom. Odnako v svoem velikolepnom i monumental'nom romane Margaret Dzhordzh predstavlyaet nam istoriyu Genriha VIII takoy, kakuyu on sam mog by rasskazat' v memuarah, dopolnennyh derzkimi kommentariyami ego shuta i doverennogo lica Uilla Somersa. Blestyashche sochetaya istoricheskie fakty i hudozhestvennoe povestvovanie, obladaya tonkim ponimaniem preimushchestv i opasnostey vlasti, avtor pokazyvaet nam znamenitogo monarha vo vsekh ego chelovecheskih proyavleniyah - groznym i zhalkim, lyubyashchim i zhestokim, shchedrym i nespravedlivym.
