Summary
Henry Gidel: Sara Bernar
"Famous for her acting and her golden voice, she was capable of anything. As one of her lovers wrote: ``she could shut herself up with the Carmelite nuns, discover the North Pole, inject herself with the microbe of rabies, kill some emperor or marry some black king, nothing would surprise me.''
This fascinating biography brings this extraordinary woman to life, creating a portrait of an epoch. in which she was undeniably one of the greatest heroines." (publisher)
