In 1848, an 18-year-old boy assumed the throne of Austria, one of the most powerful countries in Europe. He would be its last significant emperor, the only monarch to serve two countries, and the last cogent head of the prestigious Habsburg dynasty. Emperor Franz Joseph’s reign was marked by revolutions, often fueled by rising liberalism and nationalism, and wars orchestrated by conquering architects such as Napoleon, Metternich, and Bismarck. This book gives attention to these political and cultural events, but it is moreover a biography of Emperor Franz Joseph and his enigmatic wife, Empress Elisabeth.

"It began like a fairy tale and ended as a tragedy. The story of Bavarian Princess Elisabeth in the bloom of her youth, who hoped in vain to find her happiness in the Viennese court, who captivated her contemporaries, and who continues to fascinate the public even today. The Habsburg Empire had their aspirations for the radiant fairy tale couple 'Sissi' and Fraz Joseph, and the beauty and charm of the young empress captured the hearts of her subjects. Her marriage to the dutiful monarch, however, did not give Sissi much happiness. Following the birth of her children, Elisabeth preferred to spend her life far away from her husband and to live in accordance with her own personal interests. This is the profound portrait of two extraordinary people, whose fate shaped the image of an epoch."--p. [4] of cover.

The real-life tale behind Netflix's Empress Sisi and the Anarchist, whose assassination in 1898 shocked the world. Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known to her family as 'Sisi', belongs to a famous love story of European royalty. In 1853 the Emperor Franz Josef, the most eligible bachelor in Europe, fell in love with her at first sight when she was 15. They were married the next year. On the surface, it was a fairy-tale marriage, all the more poignant, with hindsight, because her tragic death augured the twilight years of the Habsburg Empire. First published in 1988, Brigitte Hamann's definitive biography tells Elisabeth's story from her birth into Bavarian nobility to her assassination at the hands of an Italian anarchist. In her lifetime she was idolised solely for her grace and beauty; but Hamann shows us a stronger character, bitter at her marriage, seeking independence, and struggling against the powerful influence of her mother-in-law, the Archduchess Sophie.
