This is the French edition of a book about Marie-Antoinette's life.

What image do we retain of this queen, who has been perceived so differently depending on the period?

Evelyne Lever, a historian specialising in the 18th century, tells the story of Marie-Antoinette's life in a lively writing style. She focusses more on the woman than on the monarch, starting with Marie-Antoinette's childhood in Vienna and ending with her walk to the gallows.

A mythical figure following her tragic death, Marie-Antoinette was adored by some and hated by others. Was she an angel, a devil, or rather, a princess forced to play a role for which she was not ready?
