The best historical love affairs can be chosen according to various criteria. For example, reviews of critics or characteristics of publishers. But the most proven way - the relevance of the book among readers. It is their choice that determines which historical love affairs are the most interesting.
The star of Alexander Dumas, who created the masterpieces of world literature in the genre of a love historical novel, does not fade. “Three Musketeers”, “Count of Monte Cristo”, “Maria Stuart”, “Iron Mask” and other works somewhat freely present to the reader the exciting events of France. The writer’s fantasy, the ups and downs of love are interspersed with historical facts, in some cases - reliable, in some - invented by Alexander Dumas the father. Psychologists recommend reading, for example, the chronicles of the “Three Musketeers” in adolescence, when the child’s imagination paints the described paintings very vividly and completely carries him into the world of exciting adventures.
The most interesting love historical novels include the work of the English writer Elizabeth Chadwick - “Treasures of the King”. The book fascinatingly describes the era of England of the 13th century, its mores and customs. But readers will not have to get bored: the writer wove an almost detective intrigue into the story, she presented the characters very vividly and vividly. There are disputes about the reliability of some of these historical events, but it must be remembered that the novel is not a chronicle and leaves the author with the right to “play” in so many details.
When analyzing which love affairs are the most interesting, one cannot help recalling the immortal story of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Not one generation, then with tears in his eyes, then with laughter, reads and re-reads the life story of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. And against the background of passions, the events of the war between north and south on American soil are artistically described.
The list of twenty most interesting historical love affairs, compiled on the basis of a survey of two thousand British, includes classics of Russian literature. This fact cannot but rejoice: you can read them not in translation, but in the original. First of all, the residents of Misty Albion chose the “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy, which tells about the complex relationships of the characters against the background of the realistically described Patriotic War of 1812.
The second most interesting novel is the creation of Boris Pasternak "Doctor Zhivago." The touching and complex love story between Lara and Yuri Zhivago left a deep mark in the hearts of a million readers around the world.
