| Summary |
"Eugénie, Empress of the French" by Clara Tschudi is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles the life of Eugénie, an ambitious woman of humble beginnings who ascended to become the Empress of France, highlighting the societal changes and political dynamics of her time. At the start of this fascinating work, readers are introduced to Eugénie's mother, Maria Manuela, a strikingly ambitious woman who determined to elevate her family's social standing. Manuela’s marriage to Count Manuel Fernandez de Teba sets the stage for the birth of Eugénie, who grows up amid aspirations of grandeur. The opening delves into the family history, detailing how Eugénie’s beauty and intelligence ultimately lead her into the path of political power, love, and ultimately, scandal. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the complexities of her character, foreshadowing the struggles and triumphs she will face as she navigates her way through the echelons of European monarchy.
