Summary "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 21" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the later years of Friedrich II's reign, particularly focusing on his efforts to repair and rebuild Prussia after the destructive Seven Years' War. Friedrich, also known as Frederick the Great, is a central figure whose life and leadership are explored through the lens of historical events and changes during his time. At the start of this volume, Carlyle presents a reflective and analytical tone as he assesses Friedrich’s accomplishments and the weight of his legacy in the context of broader European history. The opening discusses the conclusion of Friedrich's notable wars, highlighting the peace following the tumultuous era and setting the stage for the king's rebuilding efforts. The narrative reveals a kingdom struggling from devastation, with Friedrich determined to restore order through economic and administrative reforms. The opening chapters encapsulate themes of resilience and reform, with Carlyle artfully weaving anecdotes and details surrounding Friedrich's interactions and initiatives aimed at revitalizing the war-torn Prussia, establishing both a personal and political portrait of this important historical leader.
