Halina Auderska

Krolowa Bona. Smok w herbie

Bona Sforza d'Aragona urodziła się 2 lutego 1494 r. w Vigevano; pochodziła z możnego włoskiego rodu książąt Mediolanu - Sforzów. Była córką Giana Galeazza Sforzy i Izabeli Aragońskiej. Jej herb przedstawiał smoka trzymającego w paszczy dziecię.

Starannie wykształcona, uczennica Crisostoma Colonny i Antonia Galatea, znała utwory Wergiliusza i Cycerona, potrafiła cytować Ojców Kościoła; nieobce jej były historia, prawo, administracja i teologia.

Została wychowana na królową i bardzo chciała nią zostać!

Uroczystości koronacyjne zakończyły się i przyszło nowej pani na Wawelu rozpocząć panowanie w zupełnie obcym kraju, ze zwyczajami i temperamentami ludzi tak różnymi od italskich. A szczęście miała "bella principessa" ogromne, że trafił jej się Zygmunt na męża; Zygmunt - miłujący pokój i... spokój. Inny mąż, mniej powściągliwy i opanowany, pewnie by "italskiego smoka" presto do porządku przywołał i kto wie, może nawet kijaszkiem obił po królewskim, dostojnym siedzeniu; i właściwe miejsce wskazał... Zygmunt ze stoickim spokojem znosił słynne wybuchy gniewu, z ciskaniem przedmiotów i krzykami pełnej temperamentu królowej.

Ciężko być musiało Bonie na początku: nie znała języka swoich poddanych ani ich obyczajów; z jednym i drugim szybko (presto) sobie poradziła, opanowując język i wprowadzając nowe mody i obyczaje, własne, italskie!

THE PLAINS OF PASSAGE

‹p›The long-awaited fourth installment of the Earth's Children series is as warm and inviting as its campfire milieu. sure fire bestseller. Auel again describes her characters' travails, a passionate interest of millions of readers, in impeccably researched detail. The continuous recitation of flora and fauna, coupled with flashbacks to events in the previous books, becomes somewhat tiresome, however. (Would that our "memory" were as instinctual as that of the Clan.) The saga continues the cross-continental journey of Ayla, her mate Jondalar and their menagerie to his homeland. En route, they encounter a variety of problems, yet manage to find panaceas for each. Their enlightened compilation of skills, inventions, therapies and recipes transforms the voyagers into spirit-like personas providing The Others with constant awe. A brief encounter with the Neanderthal Clan rekindles the unique charm of the first (and strongest) book. Such locutions as "out of the cooking skin into the coals" or "Mother's path of milk" for the Milky Way are coyly anachronistic. Nonetheless, this volume is as welcome as letters from a long-lost friend. A novel 1.25 million first printing; major ad/promo; first serial to Ladies' Home Journal; BOMC main selection; author tour.

Jean M. Auel

The Land of Painted Caves

Thirty thousand years in the making and 31 years in the writing, Auel's overlong and underplotted sixth and final volume in the Earth's Children series (The Clan of the Cave Bear; etc.) finds Cro-Magnon Ayla; her mate, Jondalar; and their infant daughter, Jonayla, settling in with the clan of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonaii. Animal whisperer and medicine woman Ayla is an acolyte in training to become a full-fledged Zelandoni (shaman) of the clan, but all is not rosy in this Ice Age setting; there are wild animals to face and earthquakes to survive, as well as a hunter named Balderan, who has targeted Ayla for death, and a potential cave-wrecker named Marona. While gazing on an elaborate cave painting (presumably, the Lascaux caverns in France), Ayla has an epiphany and invents the concept of art appreciation, and after she overdoses on a hallucinogenic root, Ayla and Jondalar come to understand how much they mean to one another, thus giving birth to another concept — monogamy. Otherwise, not much of dramatic interest happens, and Ayla, for all her superwomanish ways, remains unfortunately flat. Nevertheless, readers who enjoyed the previous volumes will relish the opportunity to re-enter pre-history one last time.

The Mammoth Hunters

The authenticity of background detail, the lilting prose rhythms and the appealing conceptual audacity that won many fans for The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of the Horses continue to work their spell in this third installment of Auel's projected six-volume Earth's Children saga set in Ice Age Europe. The heroine, 18-year-old Ayla, cursed and pronounced dead by the "flathead" clan that reared her, now takes her chances with the mammoth-hunting Mamutoi, attended by her faithful lover, Jondalar. Gradually overcoming the prejudice aroused by her flathead connection, Ayla wins acceptance into the new clan through her powers as a healer, her shamanistic potential, her skill with spear and slingshot and her way with animals (she rides a horse, domesticates a wolf cub, both "firsts," it would seem, and even rides a lion). She also wins the heart of a bone-carving artist of "sparkling wit" (not much in evidence), which forces her to make a painful choice between the curiously complaisant Jondalar, her first instructor in love's delights, and this more charismatic fellow. The story is lyric rather than dramatic, and Ayla and her lovers are projections of a romantic rather than a historical imagination, but readers caught up in the charm of Auel's story probably won't care. 750,000 first printing; $300,000 ad/promo; paperback rights to Bantam; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club dual main selections; author tour.
