Historical novel is a sly path for any writer: how to make up true story if the only source of information about the heroes is historical evidence, which is arid and adjusted to social demands? This problem doesn't stand so sharply for the master of psychological portrait- Stefan Zweig. His biographies "Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Average Woman" and "Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles" tell us about historical events, royal intrigues and what is mostly important- these two women, who were quite ordinary in love expectations and unique in their destiny.
