Illustrated with more than sixty-five photos of Bernhardt on stage, in film, and in real life. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage actor who became a global superstar in the late nineteenth century--the Lady Gaga of her day--and is still considered to be one of the greatest performers of all time. This fast-paced account of her life, filled with provocative detail, brilliantly follows the transformation of a girl of humble origins, born to a courtesan, into a fabulously talented, wealthy, and beloved icon. Not only was her acting trajectory remarkable, but her personal life was filled with jaw-dropping exploits, and she was extravagantly eccentric, living with a series of exotic animals and sleeping in a coffin. She grew to be deeply admired around the world, despite her unabashed and public promiscuity at a time when convention was king; she slept with each of her leading men and proudly raised a son without a husband. A fascinating and fast-paced deep dive into the world of the divine Sarah. Illustrated with more than sixty-five photos of Bernhardt on stage, in film, and in real life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Reef\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1328557502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328557506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020 pg. 66","brand":"Catherine Reef","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047821799679,"sku":"9781328557506","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07c1480c-fa93-4328-abbb-bd50bd8ecec5.jpg?v=1684992363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sarah-bernhardt-catherine-reef-9781328557506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
