Features: This book introduces a chance encounter at a costume ball—the Austrian Empress Elizabeth and the commoner Franz Tassnik—as a starting point, showcasing the turbulent Europe of the late 19th and early 20th centuries under the Habsburg dynasty, as well as the Vienna filled with Strauss waltzes. It revolves around the legendary image of Empress Elizabeth, telling a real story from the life of Princess Sisi, and excellently portrays the love that should not have been and the heartbreakingly blissful happiness.
