De leur première rencontre en 1868 à la mort de Pozzi en 1918, assassiné par un de ses patients, l'actrice et le médecin n'ont cessé d'échanger des lettres, d'amour puis d'affection. Autour de cette correspondance à laquelle elles ont eu accès, les auteures tissent l'histoire d'une passion tumultueuse entre ces deux êtres. ©Electre 2025

Quatrième de couverture

From their first meeting in the Latin Quarter of Paris in 1868 until Pozzi's tragic death in 1918, Sarah Bernhardt and Samuel Pozzi continued to exchange letters and messages, initially words of love and later as testimony of a deep and sincere friendship.

While Sarah became the first international super-star of theatre, Samuel, a founder of modern surgery and gynecology, distinguished himself also as a writer, collector and politician.

In researching their lives, Caroline de Costa and Francesca Miller have had access to more than one hundred letters from Bernhardt to Pozzi. Around these letters, the authors have woven the histories of two amazing people, richly endowed by Nature, but developing their gifts to the full, hardworking, and, in their own spheres, perfectionists.

« My Doctor God... No being is dearer to me than you... do I then need, dear friend, to open the box of memories that we share, to let you breathe the perfume of those flowers we gathered together in the garden of Life ? I love you tenderly, infinitely... Sarah. April 1915. »
