Description

Stefan Zweig's biography of Marie Antoinette is a deeply personal and insightful portrait of one of history's most complex and fascinating figures.

Based on the correspondence between Marie Antoinette and her mother, as well as her great love Axel von Fersen, this book offers a nuanced exploration of the queen's inner world, from her private pleasures to her public suffering under the weight of misfortune and historical events.

From the intimate settings of the Trianon to the tragic events of the Revolution, Zweig's account provides a vivid and detailed picture of Marie Antoinette's life, including her failed escape to Varennes, her imprisonment in the Conciergerie, and her ultimate fate under the guillotine.
