Lucretia Borgia


Lu par Emily Maynard

(4.5 étoiles; 10 critiques)

According to Original Documents and Correspondence of Her Day. Lucretia Borgia is the most unfortunate woman in modern history. Is this because she was guilty of the most hideous crimes, or is it simply because she has been unjustly condemned by the world to bear its curse? The question has never been answered.

Critiques

The Jewel of The Borgias -- Lucretia Borgia


(5 étoiles)

I found this quite interesting and informative.. The Narrator, Emily Maynard, made it most enjoyable. Her reading skills and her beautiful Italian is very impressive.

Too much about nothing. Very little of Lucretia.
