Description
Maria Theresa. A strong and interesting woman to whom nothing human was foreign. The only woman on the Czech throne, one of the most significant figures of the 18th century, but also the mother of sixteen children and a loving wife. What was she really like? A hard, calculating, heartless ruler who let hundreds of thousands of soldiers fight and die for her, or an understanding and loving wife and mother? Our story begins in the early days of her reign, taking you through the complex times in which Maria Theresa lived, her worries, joys, and you will get to know her hobbies and whims, meeting a number of significant personalities, including Joseph Haydn, who composed the still-performed 48th symphony called Maria Theresia in her honor. Perhaps in the book, you will also find the answer to the question of why, despite the gap of more than two centuries, Maria Theresa feels so close to us.
