Product description
An exciting autobiography of a mysterious character, flamenco dancer Lola Montez, who made a big splash in the mid-19th century. Lola always pretended to be Spanish, even though she was Irish. Thanks to her Spanish dances, she made friends with politicians, artists and important figures of the era, even a king fell in love with her.
In every situation, she reinvented herself and fought with what she had: a spectacular physique, captivating beauty and excellent intelligence. As a dancer, he managed to reach the peak of fame, performing on the most important stages in Europe, despite the fact that he could not dance. He was friends with the most famous politicians, writers, musicians, and aristocrats of his time: for example, Alexandre Dumas, Liszt (the most popular composer at the time, with whom they ignited a burning passion for each other), George Sand, etc. King Louis I of Bavaria fell in love with Lola, gave her the title of count, and eventually abdicated because of her. After her series of European adventures, Lola traveled to the United States of America, witnessed the gold rush, and then toured Australia. He was a legend of the era and the period that followed.
This book takes the reader to distant, exotic places, from Lola's homeland, Ireland, to India (she lived in Calcutta and Dinapore around 1845), through cities such as Paris, London, Munich, where she charmed the public with her "Spanish dances", and we get an insight into the to distant and dangerous landscapes in California and Australia, where he lived with fearless determination.
The author of the book himself traveled to some of the places where the pseudo-Spanish visited during his life, where he dazzled kings and princes, and also to the American place where his extravagant life story ended on a circus stage. Lola Montez died in poverty at the age of 52 in New York, tormented by guilt over her debauched life.
