Einer der größten Unterhaltungsromane der deutschen Literatur mit einer Gesamtauflage von über 2,8 Millionen Exemplaren »Ich glaube, eine Frau kann viel leichter bei einem Mann etwas erreichen, wenn sie einen runden Busen hat. Deshalb habe ich mir vorgenommen, mir morgen vier Taschentücher in den Ausschnitt zu stopfen...« So beginnt Annemarie Selinkos großer historischer Roman, das fiktive Tagebuch der Désirée Clary, Seidenhändler-Tochter aus Marseille, die es tatsächlich zu etwas bringen und in die Weltgeschichte eingehen sollte. Sie war die erste Verlobte Napoleons, heiratete später den französischen Marschall Bernadotte, lebte in der Gunst des Kaisers in Paris und verließ Frankreich schließlich mit ihrem Mann, als der den schwedischen Thron bestieg. Das Buch erreichte in kurzer Zeit Millionenauflagen und wurde in mehr als 25 Sprachen übersetzt. Der Hollywood-Film mit Jean Simmons als Désirée und Marlon Brando als Napoleon wurde ebenfalls ein Welterfolg, und auch heute noch hat dieser historische Liebesroman nichts von seinem Zauber verloren.
