Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Queen Louisa of Prussia had conquered the hearts of her people by beauty and charm and was called one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was as loved in Prussia as the Queen Elizabeth of Austria and Princess Diana. However, her reign coincided with the hard times of the Napoleonic wars. Nevertheless, Louisa proved herself as a devoted wife of King Frederick William III of Prussia and a solid and respected diplomat plotting coalition against Napoleon. The latter was enchanted by her beauty and charm and called her 'my beautiful enemy.' This book presents different portraits of Lousie: a charming beauty to married to the future king, a queen, loving wife and mother, a politician winning love of her people and carrying the burden of their hopes for protection against French invasion, a respected leader of the nation and a diplomat.
