A hundred years after her death, Elisabeth of Austria - Empress of Austria - is more alive than ever. Why? Because she was one of the most beautiful women of her time, and her charm captivated both court figures and ordinary citizens. Because she ascended to the throne at just sixteen, with all the illusions and enthusiasm of her age. Because she loved the people: she would stop to talk with women, caress children, and take on the problems of her subjects. Because she was spontaneous, athletic, lively, and in love with her husband, Emperor Franz Joseph. Because soon the rigid rules of court life extinguished her joy for living, trying to confine her to a role. Because despite wealth, fame, and honors, she was deeply unhappy. Because she was a modern woman who wanted to live her life: she sought solace in travel from the restlessness and depression that consumed her. Because on a warm September day, she was killed by a single, deep stab wound by the lakeside. Because, while still alive, she had already become a legend: SISSI.
