Sinopse
LYVROS Destaca
Leonor, Alcipe, Countess of Oeynhausen, Marquise of Alorna - the names of a woman who was both unique and multifaceted, unmistakable among the European elite. With her strong personality and immense devotion to culture, she both unsettled and dazzled eighteenth and nineteenth- century Portugal, where it was extraordinarily unlikely for a woman to be a mother of eight, a Catholic, a poet, a political thinker, educated, well-travelled, intelligent and seductive. Leonor witnessed Lisbon and her childhood being destroyed in the earthquake of 1755, spent eighteen years behind the walls of a convent at the orders of the Marquis of Pombal, and divided her life, her curiosity and her affections between Lisbon, Porto, Paris, Vienna, Avignon, Marseilles, Madrid and London. She lived an intense and dramatic life, never allowing herself to be defeated. She moved among kings and emperors, philosophers and poets; influenced politics, experienced passionate love, and knew both opulence and poverty, honour and exile. The Marquise is a story of love for liberty and love for Portugal. The story of a passionate, rebellious, determined and dream-filled little girl. A woman who never stopped trying to spread her wings beneath distant skies, like the star she saw crossing the nigh of the earthquake.
