Description
A historical novel about Emperor Joseph II. Is it possible to make millions of people happy quickly, without love, and often against their will? This question is posed by a new historical novel set at the end of the eighteenth century, on the eve of the French Revolution. Emperor Joseph II had been waiting for years for the death of his mother, Maria Theresa. Immediately after her passing, he began impatiently realizing his dream of just governance. Through feverish self-destructive work, he wanted to forget his personal misfortune and lack of love. The book reveals the painful private life of the young monarch up to his premature tragic end. In this captivating novel, we gain insight into the lives of rulers in Europe, the highest church dignitaries, and poor village priests, Josephinian Enlighteners, reformers, and writers who awakened national consciousness.
