Here is a defining quote from the first paragraph of the preface: To try to show the Empress Eugenie in her true human aspect was an undertaking of such thorny delicacy that I hesitated a long time before I decided to venture uponit. In modern history there are few figures that have received more homage and more affronts. The life of hers, so full of contrasts. so varied, stretched out through a century, knew every turn and start of fortune. A femme du monde who had become a sovereign, a Spaniard become French, enamoured of power and wielding it, the flung into the abyss without losing one jot of her pride, she saw he son disappear in the most futile of adventures and waited fifty years for the turn of the wheel to avenge her dead and allow her to depart in peace.
