By Carl Küchler

A shrewd, intimate portrait of a era and a woman who helped shape two nations. Elizabeth, Empress Of Austria And Queen Of Hungary returns the long arc of late nineteenth century Europe to the human scale of a court and its hopes, intrigues, and reforms. Carl Küchler's biographical study invites general history readers and biography enthusiasts alike to follow the arc from Vienna's salons to the political theatre of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is at once a historical biography and a vivid royal biography, balancing political life with intimate glimpses of daily life at the imperial court. The narrative honours scholarly clarity while maintaining dramatic momentum, making it accessible to academic readership without sacrificing literary reverence. This volume stands as a note of cultural significance: a well-loved life study restored for today's audiences, preserving the texture of empire history classics for new generations. It offers a humane, carefully sourced window into empire-building, dynastic pressures, and the social fabric of the Sissi era, appealing to readers curious about royal court life and the wider currents of late nineteenth century europe. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A refined, enduring contribution to austro hungarian political life literature that will resonate with both casual readers and serious scholars.
