Summary "Frederick the Great and His Family: A Historical Novel" by L. Mühlbach is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Frederick the Great of Prussia, exploring his relationships within his family, particularly the tensions with his brother, Prince Henry, and the complexities of love, duty, and royal politics in their lives. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to King Frederick, who reflects on his solitude and the loss of joy in Sans-Souci, his once vibrant residence. He grapples with melancholy memories and frustrations over his brother's defiance against marrying for duty rather than love. Meanwhile, Prince Henry, confined to his quarters, contemplates his own romantic inclinations and the struggles to assert his desires against royal expectations. As Louise von Kleist, a significant love interest, navigates her own challenges, the dynamics among these characters set the stage for intrigue, conflict, and the personal sacrifices demanded by their positions. The opening portion establishes the emotional and political stakes that will drive the narrative forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
