Description
A historical novel about the reign and fate of Maria Theresa, one of the great figures in world history. Love the Queen is both a story of a strong woman and a tale of the Theresian epoch. The author selects a key period from the rich forty years of Maria Theresa's and Joseph II's reign. A colorful sequence alternates scenes from royal courts and palaces in Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg, and the Vatican, as well as from book temples, music salons, laboratories, universities, and peasant cottages. The fates of Slovak scholars intertwine with those of prominent European philosophers and musicians of the time. The characters, facts, and events are organically connected. The novel is a fictional reckoning of the rulers' intentions and fates.
