InIn "King Ludwig II of Bavaria," Fr. Streissler paints a vivid portrait of one of the most dazzling monarchs of the 19th century. The "Fairy Tale King," known for his magnificent castles like Neuschwanstein, is portrayed here not only as an eccentric builder but also as a profound, solitary, and tragic ruler. The book illuminates his political conflicts, his love of art—especially Richard Wagner—and his mysterious death. A fascinating look at the tension between dream and reality, power and withdrawal, splendor and tragedy. "King Ludwig II of Bavaria" is an unaltered, high-quality reprint of the original 1886 edition.
