Every person who likes to read, sooner or later comes across books of any genre from classics to a tabloid novel. Having tried all the possible range of literature that can be found on store shelves and in the global network, he chooses what is close to him.
For me, reading is the main hobby, without which I simply can not imagine my existence. A book is not just a way to pass my leisure time and spend a pleasant evening, it is a whole new world that captures me completely and without a trace.
And, of course, like any normal person, I prefer to immerse myself in worlds that are close to me, that find a response in my soul, make me think about things that are important to me and cause a desire to find myself on the pages of a work.
One of the first book series that completely captured my imagination was a series of books about "Angelica" from the inimitable Anne and Serge Golon. I still remember my first acquaintance with this literary work.
I literally couldn't tear myself away from the pages. I read absolutely everywhere - at home, in the subway, at lectures. Several times, when I sat down to read a book in the evening, I was surprised to find that it was already seven in the morning, I was terribly sleepy, but I simply did not have the strength to put "Angelica" aside, and I continued to read on.
When the series came to its logical conclusion, I felt sad and empty, as if some stage in my own life had ended. Now I would like to share with you my emotions about the amazing cycle, which has become one of the most beloved for me at all times, regardless of what genre I am interested in at this particular moment.
Angelica Sanse de Montelo is a real beauty. The daughter of a poor nobleman, she was married to the already elderly and very rich Count of Toulouse, Geoffrey de Peyrac. Married against her own will, the girl struggles to resist intimacy with her husband and tries to stay away from him and his court.
However, the persistent adoration that the count, who is experienced in love, demonstrates to her soon has an effect and wins Angelica's heart. The slightly frivolous and courtly customs of her new home begin to seem attractive, and life is like a paradise in which the young lady is immeasurably happy.
And so it went on until the King of France, Louis XIV, was passing through their castle. Envious of the wealth of Geoffrey de Peyrac and the beauty of his wife, he decides to destroy the happiness of his vassal. So began Angelica's long journey, full of difficulties, dangerous adventures, intrigues, love and hate.
To regain her lost happiness, she will have to fall to the very bottom and soar to the very top, be a beggar, a business woman, a pampered court lady, a rebellious concubine, a selfless rebel, a righteous Puritan, a brave conqueror of the new world. Change a lot of men, each of whom has influence and power. And only at the very end to defeat both enemies and your own demons.
The plot of the book from the book is interesting, exciting and equally intriguing. Literally every part of Angelica's life and happiness hangs in the balance. New adventures, for which I have always paid tribute to the authors, do not repeat the old ones.
Watching the main character in completely different, incredible situations has always been fascinating for me. There are so many touching and tragic moments in thirteen books that there are enough for a certain number of ordinary novels.
Some of them have become for me the standard of how to describe heart-wrenching moments so that tears flow down my cheeks like hail. And after all, it is absolutely not necessary to draw a drama or a tragedy in the smallest details, it is enough to choose a couple of correct, appropriate words.
And romance is present on every page without exception. When I read the series of books "Angelica", it was as if I fell into a multicolored rainbow and swirled in a stormy whirlpool of unforgettable feelings and emotions.
The characters are all, without exception, bright, unique and unlike each other. I could fall in love with every man from Angelica's life without hesitation, whether it was the gallant, sophisticated, gentle and intelligent Geoffrey de Peyrac, the beautiful, brave and unprincipled Philippe du Plessis de Bellier, the brave and cruel Nicolas Merlot,the fearless and full of strength Colin Paturel or any other admirer or lover of her.
I recommend reading the book "Angelica" without exception to all women, regardless of whether you are sixteen or sixty years old. A dreamer and a dreamer lives in the soul of each of us, and this series is the best gift that we can make to our romantic "I".
