系列簡介

Penguin Monarchs系列是企鵝英國2013年開啟的一個為期四年的出版計劃。在這四年期間，四十五本關於英國皇家帝王個人的傳奇故事將紛紛與讀者見面。彙集了英國知名歷史學家，每一本的內容都從創新的角度，繪出君王們的不同形象。

説到歷史書，可能一直留給讀者的是“大部頭”，“難啃”等晦澀的印象，但是這個系列並非如此。小巧精裝，沒有一本超過200頁，外加精心設計的封面，足以讓人愛不釋手。

書籍簡介

The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback

Charles II has always been one of the most instantly recognisable British kings - both in his physical appearance, disseminated through endless portraits, prints and pub signs, and in his complicated mix of lasciviousness, cynicism and luxury. His father's execution and his own many years of exile made him a guarded, curious, unusually self-conscious ruler. He lived through some of the most striking events in the national history - from the Civil Wars to the Great Plague, from the Fire of London to the wars with the Dutch.

Clare Jackson's marvellous book takes full advantage of its irrepressible subject.

查理二世（英語：Charles II，1630年5月29日－1685年2月6日），蘇格蘭及英格蘭、愛爾蘭國王，生前獲得多數英國人的喜愛，以“歡樂王”、“快活王”（Merrie Monarch）聞名。
