14.99 €
The great Sarah Bernhardt was born into a family of courtesans, but received her education in a boarding house at a convent. Returning to Paris, the girl faces the urgent entreaties of her mother to take up the family trade - to become a courtesan. To avoid this fate, Sarah is trying to make a career on the stage of the Comédie Française, but her unusual for its time style of play leads to a scandalous dismissal. Having lost her job, nineteen-year-old Sarah is forced to submit to her mother's will. However, everything suddenly changes when Sarah discovers she is pregnant. She decides to keep the baby and finds herself penniless. After unsuccessfully looking for work Sarah suddenly receives an invitation to the theater "Odeon", where he wins the hearts of the audience with his game in innovative productions. Subsequent return to the "Comédie Française" opens a new page in the life of Sarah Bernhardt. Outdated norms of acting, accepted in this theater, forcing her to actively seek her own independent way. And against all odds, she becomes a famous actress, recognized not only in France, but around the world. The novel "The Great Actress" - a fascinating story about a woman whose unsurpassed talent and rebellious spirit inscribed her in the history of theater as the Divine Sarah. For the first time in Russian!
