Europe

Collins

This biography follows the life of the Empress Zita, one of the most remarkable royal women of recent times. After the assassinations at Sarajevo in 1914, Zita's husband became heir to the Habsburg monarchy. By 1916 the 24-year-old Zita was Empress of Austria-Hungary. Only two years later she witnessed the crumbling of the 650-year-old monarchy. The couple were exiled and Zita's husband died in 1922. Although two unsuccessful attempts to wrest back the crown were made, Zita did not return until she was 90 years old when, after over 60 years of exile, she was allowed to return to Austria.

The nation-state of Austria has only existed since the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg empire in 1918. This work examines the Austrian people's struggle to find their identity against the pull of multi-national Danubian traditions on one hand and racial German ties on the other. It also describes the role the Austrians have to play in the modern world and how they have come to terms with their recent past.
