Présentation de l'éditeur :
#1 New York Times bestselling author and “queen of royal fiction” ( USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory brings to life the passionate, turbulent times of seventeenth-century England as seen through the eyes of the country’s most famous royal gardener.
John Tradescant’s fame and skill as a gardener are unsurpassed in seventeenth-century England, but it is his clear-sighted honesty and loyalty that make him an invaluable servant. As an informal confidant of Sir Robert Cecil, adviser to King James I, he witnesses the making of history, from the Gunpowder Plot to the accession of King Charles I and the growing animosity between Parliament and court.
Tradescant’s talents soon come to the attention of the most powerful man in the country, the irresistible Duke of Buckingham, the lover of King Charles I. Tradescant has always been faithful to his masters, but Buckingham is unlike any he has ever known: flamboyant, outrageously charming, and utterly reckless. Every certainty upon which Tradescant has based his life—his love of his wife and children, his passion for his work, his loyalty to his country—is shattered as he follows Buckingham to court, to war, and to the forbidden territories of human love.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Another sweeping novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author This is the story of the Tradescants, father and son, who, despite being humble gardeners, lived at the very centre of English political life in the Seventeenth Century. They pioneered the art of gardening or more correctly the whole study of botany at a time when the world was opening up like a treasure chest of riches to merchant adventurers and explorers. John Tradescant introduced the horse chestnut tree to Britain and hundreds of other species. His job as gardener and confidante first to Lord Cecil, Queen Elizabeths renowned spymaster, then to the charismatic and erotically dangerous royal favourite the Duke of Buckingham, gave him an extraordinary role in the most turbulent period of English history brilliantly evoked by the author. The garden very much took its place as an important symbol in the Tudor and Stuart view of the cosmos. This would change, just as Civil War would do away with the very institution of the monarchy. Sumptuous, beautiful, deeply interesting about both history and horticulture and above all a wonderful story, this is Philippa Gregorys finest novel. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001200500
