About Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by the Countess of Carnarvon:

Lady Almina, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon, was known for throwing fabulous parties at Highclere Castle during the Edwardian era and for turning her home into a hospital for wounded soldiers during World War I. Her biography provides a view of what it was like to live during a time of great joy and of immense sorrow, all in the place that inspired the Emmy Award–winning period drama Downton Abbey.

Lady Fiona Carnarvon, the 8th Countess of Carnarvon, knows Highclere Castle—her current residence, which has been in her husband’s family since 1679—better than just about anyone. Drawing from the family’s personal archives of photographs, letters, household records, and journals, Lady Fiona give readers an inside view of the famous English country home and the remarkable woman at the center of it all.

The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

Product: Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey
Description: Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story behind Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes’s Emmy Award-winning PBS show Downton Abbey, and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants, Catherine Wendell. In this transporting companion piece to the New York Times bestseller Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey, Catherine, a beautiful and spirited American woman who married Lady Almina’s son, the man who would become the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, presides over the grand estate during a tumultuous time for the British aristocracy. Following the First World War, many of the great houses of England faded as their owners fortunes declined in the new political and social world of the 1920s and 1930s. As war loomed, Highclere’s survival as the family home of the Carnarvons was again in the balance—as was peace between the nations of Europe.
Using copious materials—including diaries and scrapbooks—from the castle’s archives, the current Countess of Carnarvon brings alive a very modern story in a beautiful and fabled setting, paying particular attention to the staff who provide Highclere Castle with continuity between generations.

Product: Lady Almina e a verdadeira Downton Abbey (Portuguese Edition)
Description: O castelo de Highclere, em Hampshire, na Inglaterra, é cenário principal da aclamada série de televisão Downton Abbey, vencedora de prêmios como o Emmy e o Globo de Ouro. Na vida real, durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, a suntuosa construção foi a moradia de lady Almina, a quinta condessa de Carnarvon e herdeira do banqueiro Alfred de Rothschild. Sua fortuna assegurou a sobrevivência da propriedade, permitiu a realização de festas luxuosas e ajudou a financiar as escavações da tumba do faraó Tutancâmon, no Egito.

A partir de registros encontrados nos arquivos do castelo, como diários, cartas e fotografias, sua atual sucessora, lady Fiona, faz em Lady Almina e a verdadeira Downton Abbey um retrato vibrante de uma corajosa mulher que, além de bela e rica, teve participação na vida política de seu país, abriu as portas de seu castelo para soldados feridos na Primeira Guerra Mundial e tornou-se a mais célebre moradora de Highclere.

“O livro lança um olhar fascinante sobre a dama que transformou seu castelo em um hospital para soldados britânicos feridos na Primeira Guerra Mundial (o que corresponde exatamente à trama da segunda temporada de Downton Abbey).” USA Today

“A família Carnarvon é curiosa e excêntrica de uma forma que só os aristocratas ingleses muito ricos conseguem ser, independentemente da série de televisão.”Paris Review
