| Item Descriptor | Dario Fo's novel heroine Christina of Sweden is an "impossible queen": highly educated, rebellious and unpredictable. She refuses to marry, has affairs and corresponds with intellectuals such as René Descartes, whom she also invites to the Stockholm court. After her abdication in 1654, she goes to Rome and becomes an important patron of science and the arts. Using historical evidence and chronicles, but above all his own imagination, Dario Fo tells the life of a self-confident woman who breaks with the conventions of her time and reinvents them in the process. The last novel by the great Italian dramatist and Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo in the first German translation. |
