Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The story of the aftermath of World War I, a transformative time when a new world seemed possible--told from the vantage of people, famous and ordinary, who lived through the turmoil November 1918. The Great War has left Europe in ruins, but with the end of hostilities, a radical new start seems not only possible, but essential, even unavoidable.

Softcover. Condition: Wie neu. Ohne Schutzumschlag. August Wilhelm Schlegel nannte sie eine "Königin der Herzen". Während Napoleons Armeen die Throne in Europa zum Wanken brachten, gelang es Luise von Preußen, die Untertanen für die Monarchie zu begeistern. Als Preußens Waffen längst vor dem Kaiser der Franzosen kapituliert hatten, trat Luise ihm persönlich entgegen. Daniel Schönpflug erzählt das Leben der jungen Königin, die schon mit 34 Jahren starb, in einer hinreißend geschriebenen Biographie. Luises Leben verging im Rhythmus jenes großen Theaters der Macht, dessen tieferer Sinn es war, den Status der ersten Familie des Reiches unentwegt sichtbar und erfahrbar zu machen. Das Geheimnis von Luises Erfolg war die Energie, Hingabe und Brillanz, mit der sie ihre Rolle spielte. In einer Ära radikaler Umbrüche durch die Französische Revolution und Napoleon stand sie für eine behutsame Erneuerung der Monarchie. Doch als Napoleon 1806 Preußen vernichtend geschlagen hatte, brach nicht nur das Königreich, sondern auch Luises Leben zusammen. Einfühlsam und historisch genau zeichnet dieses Buch ein neues Bild der Königin, die wie keine andere in der Erinnerung der Deutschen lebendig geblieben ist, 286 Seiten, Mit 32 Abbildungen und einer Karte.…
