Synopsis "Elizabeth, Empress of Austria (in English)"
""Elizabeth, Empress of Austria"" is a biography written by Count Egon Corti that delves into the life of one of the most fascinating figures of European royalty, Empress Elizabeth of Austria. The book covers Elizabeth's life from her childhood as a Bavarian princess to her tragic death at the hands of an assassin in 1898. Count Corti provides a detailed account of Elizabeth's marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I, her struggles with the rigid protocol of the Habsburg court, and her efforts to carve out a unique role for herself as a patron of the arts and a champion of Hungarian independence. The book also explores Elizabeth's personal life, including her relationships with her children and her love affair with the Hungarian Count Andr�����ssy.Throughout the book, Count Corti paints a vivid picture of the glittering world of European royalty in the late 19th century, as well as the political and social upheavals that were transforming the continent. He also provides insights into the complex personality of Empress Elizabeth, who was known for her beauty, intelligence, and independent spirit, but also for her struggles with depression and anorexia.Overall, ""Elizabeth, Empress of Austria"" is a captivating biography that offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most fascinating women of European history.This is a new release of the original 1936 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
