About This Book
The Portrait of an Average Woman
Life at the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette has long captivated readers,
drawn by accounts of the intrigues and pageantry that came to such a sudden and
unexpected end. Stefan Zweig's Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Average
Woman is a dramatic account of the guillotine's most famous victim, from the
time when as a fourteen-year-old she took Versailles by storm, to her
frustrations with her aloof husband, her passionate love affair with the Swedish
Count von Fersen, and ultimately to the chaos of the French Revolution and the
savagery of the Terror. An impassioned narrative, Zweig's biography focuses on
the human emotions of the participants and victims of the French Revolution,
making it both an engrossingly compelling read and a sweeping and informative
history. "Certainly no one can arise unmoved from the reading of this powerful
work." -- The New Republic
"Excellent biography." -- The New York Times
