Golden Fleece: The Story of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth of Austria is a historical biography written by Bertita Harding. The book tells the story of the tumultuous lives of Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, and his wife, Elisabeth, also known as Sisi. The book begins with the early years of Franz Joseph's reign, which was marked by political upheaval and war. It then delves into the personal lives of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth, exploring their marriage and the challenges they faced as rulers of a vast empire. Elisabeth, in particular, is a central figure in the book. She is portrayed as a free spirit who struggled to conform to the strict expectations of the royal court. The book explores her relationships with her children, her love of travel, and her tragic death at the hands of an assassin. Throughout the book, Harding provides a vivid portrayal of life in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She also offers insights into the political and social forces that shaped the lives of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth. Overall, Golden Fleece is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in European history, royal biographies, or the lives of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth of Austria.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
