Goya's glass

See all formats and editions

The Duchess of Alba, known as Goya's muse, recalls the passions of youth on her deathbed in the royal court of 18th century Madrid.

A young woman defies the protocols of her arranged marriage and pursues love and the life of a published writer, until her readers condemn her as a danger to society in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Nina Berberova escapes persecution during the Russian Revolution and flees to Paris, where the intelligentsia naively covet the promise of a Soviet Union.

In worlds that rarely accomodate female desire, 'Goya's Glass' explores history's guilty pleasures and passions.
