Frederick the Great

After her enormously successful biographical studies of The Sun King, Nancy Mitford now turns to a less familiar but no less fascinating figure,Frederick the Great. She says she has never liked a subject for biography so much, and her enthusiasm for the Prussian king and his world is evident throughout this lively, illuminating and often moving record of the life of a very remarkable man.

המשפט הראשון: Frederick the Great was born on 24 January 1712, the year of Denain, Louis XIV's final and victorious battle in the War of the Spanish Succession; when he died, seventy-four years later, people were discussing Marie Antoinette's diamond necklace.
