Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the opulent and intrigue-laden court of Augustus II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, during the early 18th century. Through the eyes of the young and ambitious Henry Brühl, we witness the intricate web of power, ambition, and religious tensions that characterized this era. As Brühl navigates the treacherous path from humble page to the King's trusted secretary, the author paints a vivid portrait of courtly life, where political maneuvering and personal alliances determine one's fate. The story explores the complex interplay between Catholicism and Protestantism, as Brühl, a secret Catholic, finds himself caught between the devoutly Catholic Prince and the predominantly Protestant court. The book delves into themes of social mobility, religious tolerance, and the often-contradictory nature of personal faith and political expediency. As Brühl's influence grows, so too do the moral dilemmas he faces, forcing him to question his allegiances and the true cost of power. This book offers a captivating glimpse into a pivotal period in European history, revealing the human stories behind the grand political and religious struggles of the time. Brühl's journey serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring tensions between personal conviction and the demands of a society steeped in power dynamics and religious divides.
