Synopsis

In ""The Last of All Possible Worlds"", royalty, bankers, lovers, and wives intertwine to create a vivid portrait of Europe in the early 1900s. We meet wise and worldly Prince Sobieski, Vienna s ambassador in London, his enchanting wife, her English lover, and her enigmatic life-long companion, Josefa. When Sobieski s illegitimate daughter makes a demand of her influential father, the unspoken rules of the family are challenged. Sobieski s world is further upset when two powerful merchant bankers, the tragic McGregor Hinton and the ambitious Julius von Mosenthal, arrive in London -- both with their own requirements of the prince. ""The Temptation to Do Good"" tells the story of Father Heinz Zimmerman, the well-regarded president of an American Catholic university. When he attempts to help a chemistry teacher who has been denied tenure, he accidentally opens the door to the underlying tensions in the university.
