Beschreibung
Many books have been written about the Austrian Empress Sisi. However, few of them are based on authentic primary sources. And even fewer rely on her handwritten letters. ***** The letters from Sisi offer a unique opportunity to delve into 24 of Elisabeth's previously unpublished personal writings, which come from the Secret Domestic Archive of the House of Wittelsbach. These are extremely rare documents that allow readers to get to know the empress personally. ***** What did she confide to her correspondents? What kind of relationship did she have with them? What does her distinctive handwriting reveal about her? How did her correspondence change over time? The book will present Elisabeth at various stages of her life, with all her joys and worries. ***** The Czech translation of the letters is complemented by scans of selected originals and an erudite commentary by the author.
