23 - 29 June 2025 - Broad Chalke, Salisbury
Included
Adam Zamoyski unveils the extraordinary life of his great-great-great grandmother, Princess Izabela Czartoryska. Thrust into a man’s world, Izabela navigated high politics, revolutions, and personal turmoil, encountering figures like Frederick the Great, Rousseau, and Marie-Antoinette. Despite war, betrayal, and heartbreak, she liberated herself through education, championed schooling for the poor, and pioneered innovative teaching methods. A keen observer of Georgian Britain, she won intellectual acclaim and built museums to preserve history. This is a tale of resilience, ambition, and triumph over adversity – proof that true power lies in character, not beauty.
