«L'impératrice» is Nicole Avril's biography of Empress Sissi, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (412 pages, in French).
The work portrays Elisabeth of Austria, empress from the age of sixteen, and dismantles the gentle myth of Sissi: melancholy, rebellious and lucid, a poet and republican, she dazzled the Austro-Hungarian court. The narrative combines passion and documentation and recreates a turbulent Europe, with nations in ferment, dramas and a horizon of violence and war.
The work was originally published in 1993; this edition is from 1995.
For readers of historical biographies who want to know Sissi beyond the popular myth.
Nicole Avril is a French academic, actress, model, and writer.
