Izabela the Valiant: The Story of an Indomitable Polish Princess HISTORY and along the Trans-Siberian RailwayTrawling through a vast family archive and arcane sources in half a dozen languages, Adam Zamoyski has revealed the dramatic life of his great great great grandmother, an uneducated, vulnerable girl cast into a mans world. Her aristocratic position enmeshed her in high politics and close encounters with Frederick the Great, Benjamin Franklin, Rousseau, Joseph II, Marie Antoinette and Tsar Alexander I, and earned her the enmity of Catherine the Great.
