«Vals negro» is the historical novel by Ana María Moix published by Plaza & Janés in 1998, in paperback, with 197 pages, in Spanish.
Set on the centenary of Sissi's death, the novel recovers the story of Elisabeth of Bavaria as a contradictory figure, victim and protagonist of the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Moix combines fiction with the atmosphere of the Vienna of Freud, Klimt and Mahler, where the most protocol-bound court is the setting for an emerging modernity.
The novel won the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona for literature in the Spanish language in 1994, the year of its original edition. This edition is from the Ave Fénix collection of Plaza & Janés.
For those who enjoy historical fiction and want to approach the figure of Sissi from a perspective far from conventional biography.
Ana María Moix was a Spanish poet, novelist, short story writer, translator and editor. A member of the Novísimos, she was the younger sister of the writer, Terenci Moix.
