About this deal

As a Christian, I struggled in places knowing that Fiennes, despite his great earthly achievements, appears to have no personal assurance of salvation and no understanding of the path to eternal life. Douglass, Paul (1 January 2004). Lady Caroline Lamb: A Biography. Palgrave Macmillan. p.238. ISBN 978-1-4039-6605-6.

Then finally credit is due in his fund-raising missions. But admittedly half of them failed, and when they succeeded, he nearly killed himself. Telling a dual narrative like this is a risk — I find I often favor either the modern or the historical narrative while reading, to the detriment of the other. But this book finds the perfect balance. An amateur art historian uncovers the story of a mysterious woman who inspired some of the great works of Alexandre Dumas, Lord Byron, and Eugène Delacroix in this delightful romp through the City of Lights.

With his third wife, Patrice, and baby daughter in tow, Flynn lived aboard his beloved yacht, Zaca, in the Mediterranean, diving, swimming, and drinking with the likes of Rita Hayworth, King Farouk of Egypt, and Prince Rainier. “I laughed,” he writes. “My friends laughed. I had pals. They had yachts. We dined on their yachts or they dined on ours.” That said, I did like the main character in the present time, as well. I thought Khayyam was well-crafted and she was definitely a fun character to follow through all of her adventures in Paris. I also really appreciated her love for history and thought that was written really well.

Endang Species Res in pressOne night in 1816 – during a drizzly holiday by Lake Geneva – Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Godwin, and their doctor friend John William Polidori told each other improvised ghost stories. 18-year-old Mary (not yet married to Shelley) turned her idea into the novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. But Polidori also adapted his tale into a famous book, The Vampyre, and its sinister lead character was heavily based on the brooding, dangerous Byron himself. As if that wasn’t goth enough, when Percy Shelley drowned in 1822, Byron apparently asked to keep his friend’s skull. Ew. 8. He had a menagerie Leila just wants to live her life. Which her fate doesn't let her. Leila struggles to live and breathe while fate tosses her around in it's cruel hands. There's more to her story than the men care to tell. a b "Melbourne, Viscount (I, 1781 – 1853)". cracroftspeerage.co.uk. Heraldic Media Ltd . Retrieved 2 March 2014.

Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know is led by Khayyam, a seventeen-year-old teen soon going on eighteen. She encompasses a range of identities; "living between spaces", as she puts it: French American; Indian American; Muslim American. In the book, her French, American and Muslim identities are most apparent, and Ahmed's own personal experiences shine through. a b c Cecil, David (18 October 2001). The Young Melbourne & Lord M. London, UK: Weidenfeld & Nicolson. p.566. ISBN 1-84212-497-8. Lady Caroline Lamb was noted to have been involved in a few different literary circles that met in the Holland House, Lady Charleville's, Lord Ward's, Lord Lansdowne's and others of similar repute.

In addition to an image of singer Pete Burns, the cover features one of the game walls at the Château de Raray, where some of the scenes for La Belle et la Bête were filmed. The cover photographer was Bob Carlos Clarke. The phrase "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" itself comes from a statement by Lady Caroline Lamb describing controversial English literary figure Lord Byron. This behavior was not going to fly with Bette Davis, Flynn’s costar in 1939’s The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. “Bette was a dynamic creature, the great big star of the lot, but not physically my type; dominating everybody around, and especially me,” he writes. Davis was particularly aggrieved that Flynn was being paid more than her, which he agreed was ridiculous since “she was a far better actress than I could ever hope to be an actor.” Schlesinger, Derrin (11–24 February 1987).
