Eugenie

Desmond Seward

4.9/5 (34226 ratings)

Description:From 1853 to 1870 Eugenie de Montijo was Empress of the French, sharing the Second Empire with her husband Napoleon III. The last woman to reign over France (and the only one to reign over the Paris we know today), she personifies the allure glimpsed in Winterhalter's portraits and the music of Jacques Offenbach. 'Eighteen years of self-indulgence, folly and wild gaiety, of love affairs and unbelievable elegance', a survivor wistfully recalled. 'For a short time, too short a time, it seemed as if we were glittering ghosts from the splendours of the eighteenth century.' In many ways the Second Empire was a final flicker of the ancien regime. 'Successfully persuades us that any history of the nineteenth century which ignores her impact is hardly worth reading.' - Literary Review 'A brilliantly told biography that resurrects Eugenie and her Empire in all its shimmering glitziness.' - Daily Mail 'This is revisionist history at its best.' - Andrew Roberts"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
