insights' HELLO!__________Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in
1968, when he was twenty. Over the next fifty years he met her many
times, both at public and at private events.Through his friendship
with the Duke of Edinburgh, he was given privileged access to
Elizabeth II. He kept a record of all those encounters, and his
conversations with the Queen over the years, his meetings with her
family and friends, and his observations of her at close quarters
are what make this very personal account of her extraordinary life
uniquely fascinating. From her childhood in the 1920s to the era of
Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, from her war years at Windsor Castle
to her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous
century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a
remarkable woman.__________Praise for Gyles Brandreth's bestselling

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
