Carlota pasó de un cuento de hadas a un infierno. Ésta es la historia de ese infierno.

La emperatriz volvió a ser princesa. Después de que su marido fuera fusilado en el Cerro de las Campanas, la consentida, la enamorada, se convirtió en una paria de las monarquías europeas y pasó sesenta años en la locura.

Esta obra es la primera que se concentra en las seis décadas que Carlota de Sajonia-Coburgo-Gotha vivió después de que se derrumbara el Segundo Imperio Mexicano, y ofrece un estudio lúcido de uno de los personajes más apasionantes en la historia del país. Aquí hablan los diarios de los médicos de Carlota, los papeles de Adrien Goffinet (administrador de sus bienes), testigos de aquellos años, archivos reales, las cartas de su servidumbre, bitácoras de viajeros y la prensa europea de la época.

Paso a paso, se revela cómo la "princesa más triste del mundo" terminó convertida en un peón. Y cómo, de las ruinas del México de Maximiliano, surgió el imperio privado del rey belga Leopoldo II en el Congo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Carlota went from a fairy tale into hell. This is the story of that hell.

The empress went back to being a princess. After her husband was shot on the Hill of the Bells, the spoiled young wife became a pariah among the European monarchs and spent the next sixty years deranged.

This work is the first that focuses on the six decades that Carlota of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha lived after the fall of the Second Mexican Empire, and offers a lucid study of one of the most fascinating people in Mexican history. In this book, we see the diaries of Carlota's physicians, the papers of Adrien Goffinet (manager of her assets), testimonies from those years, royal archives, letters from her servants, travelers' logs, and the European press from the time.

Step by step, we see how "the saddest princess in the world" wound up as a pawn. And how, out of the fallout of Maximilian's Mexico came the private empire of the Belgian King Leopold II in the Congo.

Brilliant design and features.
Color: Black
Far better than yesteryears models. Very powerful with a lot of cork torque! The long USB cord is a HUGE plus to reach distant outlets. Charging base is another big plus. Don't forget to see the video of the girl who is promoting it but cannot figure out how to use it!! Hilarious.

Best Wine Opener We’ve Tried
Color: Black
My husband and I like to think of ourselves as wine connoisseurs, and over the years we’ve been through dozens of wine openers. So far, this one is our favorite. It’s pure magic—smooth, easy, and reliable every time. The charging base keeps everything organized. We’ve been using it for several months now without a single issue. It feels well-made and has definitely earned a permanent spot on our counter. It works so seamlessly that now we both want to open the wine.

Great gift for any wine lover!
My sister and I went in on this gift together for my mom for Christmas. We got it on a lightning deal for a lot cheaper than the normal price and were a little sketched out by it. But when we got the package and my mom opened the gift and used it, we all found it's very sturdy. Looks nice in her kitchen and is a talking piece when family or friends visit. It's really easy to use and has a nice feel to it. Great wine opener, great gift for any wine lover!
