| Summary | "Louisa of Prussia and Her Times: A Historical Novel" by L. Mühlbach is a historical fiction work likely written during the late 19th century. The novel explores the life of Louisa of Prussia, particularly during the tumultuous era of the Napoleonic Wars, reflecting on the political and social turmoil of the time. The opening chapters portray a vivid depiction of Vienna in crisis, detailing the fear and chaos as the French army led by Bonaparte approaches. The beginning of the novel sets the stage in Vienna as the city grapples with the consequences of military defeats. The despair of the populace culminates in riots as citizens demand peace and express their outrage at the fleeing emperor. Amidst this backdrop, the arrival of ominous news about Bonaparte's advancing troops creates a palpable sense of dread. The narrative introduces various characters, including the prime minister Baron von Thugut, who seeks to manipulate the tumultuous circumstances for political gain, and hints at significant figures such as Joseph Haydn, embedded in the cultural fabric of the time. Haydn's storyline offers a contrast to the political turmoil as he engages in creative endeavors, suggesting a parallel between art and the ongoing conflicts of the era.
