French term

la vérité historique et empathique

French to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters In A Book Review
Contexte:

S’appuyant sur une très riche documentation historiographique, en grande partie issue de ses propres travaux, la prof. X esquisse, dans un style narratif svelte et vivant, un portrait du Grand Ligure, à la fois respectueux de la vérité historique et empathique, sans succomber pour autant aux sirènes de l’hagiographie.

I'm most concerned about the proper translation for "empathique", since the literal interpretation doesn't make too much sense to me in this case.

Merci,

Barbara

historical truth and empathic

You appear to be parsing the sentence wrongly - it doesn't mean "historical and empathic truth".
