Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The murder/suicide of Crown Prince Rudolph Habsburg, the son of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and the beautiful young Baroness Mary Vetsera on January 30, 1889, at the royal hunting lodge in Mayerling, was a mystery then and, to a large degree, has remained a mystery to this day. It has provoked endless speculation and countless dramatic reconstructions. In this biography, Richard Barkeley argues that it is impossible fully to understand Rudolph's death without understanding his life. Rudolph was the most talented of the Habsburgs. He saw the need for urgent reform of the empire and frequently clashed with his conservative father, Franz Joseph. As Barkeley comments, 'The road the Mayerling started in the Imperial Palace in Vienna.'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

The Prince had been found dead from a bullet wound, and by his side, in the hunting lodge at Mayerling, lay the body of a young girl. Interest in and speculation about the circumstances of this tragedy have never ceased. Rudolph had always held progressive and advanced ideas which would have shocked his father, the pedestrian Emperor Francis Joseph, who refused him any position of real responsibility. Gradually the constant indifference and hostility shown towards him, coupled with an unsatisfactory marriage of convenience, broke his spirit. For long he had feared that his father's advisers and their policies threatened the very existence of the Empire, and finally this fear grew into a tormenting conviction. Life was full of frustrations, but death had always held a strange fascination. His death, the tragedy of Mayerling, becomes almost a logical end to a frustrated life. In The Road to Mayerling Richard Barkeley has drawn on all the available factual evidence, and contends that Rudolph's early death can be explained only in the context of his tempestuous and, at times, tormented life.…
