«La reina Victoria» is the biography of the British monarch written by Lytton Strachey, published by Lumen in hardback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Strachey reviews the life of Victoria I from her childhood and her accession to the throne to her marriage to Prince Albert, her widowhood and her long reign. With an elegant style, he also traces the portrait of Victorian England, of a woman who spent her last years in strict mourning and of her relationship with the prime ministers of the era.
The original, Queen Victoria, was published in 1921. This edition of La reina Victoria is from the Memorias y biografías collection, with illustrations by Roger Olmos and translation by Sílvia Pons Pradilla.
Recommended for readers interested in historical biographies and Victorian England, especially in the figure of Queen Victoria.
