E-books and miscellaneous info

[grimnir]

If you are interested, there are several books available on the internet about Monaco. Both fiction and non-fiction.

There is for example:

• vie et aventures de la princesse de Monaco by Alexandre Dumas (the one from the three musketeers, definitely fiction this one)
  
• Monaco and Monte Carlo. Old, but possibly more interesting because of it
  
• Monaco and its gaming tables
  
• The fall of prince Florestan of Monaco
  
• The romance of Monaco and it's rulers
  
• Monaco et ses princes
  
• Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo (fiction again)
  
• Monaco, ses origines et son histoire
  
• Several of prince Albert I's books/reports
  
• at least one book about princess Grace (apparently already in the public domain)
  
• Monaco au point de vue international (seems to be from a law point of view at first sight, but I may be wrong)
  
• and so on...

So if you're interested go and have a look at openlibrary.org, the Gutenberg project (gutenberg.org), google books and their friends. Read and know more than the current princess of Monaco ;D

That's a brilliant thread idea, Grinmir! I'm off to start a similar one now that you've given me a good idea

i suppose this is miscellaneous, but hard hitting about the obsession with royalty.

Quote from article:
After Vancouver photographer Dina Goldstein saw her daughter become princess-obsessed, and then watched her mom be diagnosed with cancer, she got the idea to explore what might happen after the happy ending.

I'm putting this here, unless we have somewhere a thread about "American Royalty" but there's a new biography on Jackie Onassis (hence the Monaco tie-in here) and so far, it's not flattering. She slept with her husband's brothers!!??!! Beurk!!

It would be cool to create a thread for the Kennedys and Jackie. A lot to talk about there! Maybe in the opine anything about non royal section?
