Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Francis Joseph and His Times This book needs no prefatory remarks. I am very desirous, however, to acknowledge the unstinted use I have made in it of Doctor Heinrich Friedjung's admirable narrative of the Austro-Prussian struggle for supremacy in Grermany, and his, as yet incomplete, work on the vicissitudes of Austria during the eventful period of 1848-60. As regards the illustrations which appear in the volume, I owe special thanks to Count Albert Mensdorff Pouilly Dietrichstein for a portrait of the Empress Elizabeth, taken shortly after her marriage, as well as for that of his ancestress Countess Therese Dietrichstein. To Count Harrach and his sister-in-law. Countess Alfred Harrach, I am much indebted for an unpublished photograph of the Empresss portrait, painted by Horowitz, under the Emperors direction, for the late Mistress of the Robes, Countess Harrach. I have to thank Herr Max Herzig for permission to copy some illustrations from the sumptuous work entitled Das Buch vom Kaiser, which was brought out by him in the Jubilee year, 1898. For a few details of the Emperor Francis Josephs daily habits and life, I also had recourse to the same highly interesting publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III FRANCIS II. AUSTERLITZ AND WAGRAM 1801-1809 ALTHOUGH Francis II. is not by any means to be reckoned among faineant sovereigns, he left so much latitude to his chief counsellors that the first and more eventful part of his long reign may conveniently be divided into periods marked by the Prime Ministers to whom he successively entrusted the affairs of his Empire. Count Louis Cobenzl, who now replaced Thugut, was an experienced diplomatist of good old family in Carniola, and in his early days had graduated at the then renowned University of Strasburg, where Talleyrand was one of his fellow-students. He was a protege of Prince Kaunitz, and had held for twenty years the important Embassy at St. Petersburg, where he was in the good graces of the Empress Catherine. He cannot have owed the distinction with which he was treated by that sovereign to the good looks that were so often a passport to her favor, for Hormayr draws a positively repulsive portrait of him. His head, says that gossiping historian, was in shape like that of a cat, his hair whitey-brown, and his complexion of a sickly, pallid hue. He was short and obese, or, as Hormayr prefers to call it, bloated and flabby. Small eyes with a squint in them complete the seductive picture. In spite of these serious drawbacks, he must have been endowed with some special charm; "his ugliness," we are told, "being interesting, and even graceful!" He seems at any rate to have been an accomplished courtier, and was before long admitted to the small and select coterie of the Hermitage, which helped to beguile the Empress's declining years. Cobenzl, whom Meneval in his Memoirs describes as being so Frenchified "qu'il n'avait d'AUemand que le nom" had a pretty turn for vers de societe, ...

Download or read book The Radetzky March written by Joseph Roth and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author’s masterpiece, an epic saga of a family and an empire in decline, is “full of psychological penetration and tragic force” (The New Yorker). The Radetzky March, Joseph Roth’s classic novel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, follows three generations of the privileged von Trotta family as Europe advances inexorably toward World War I. With a breadth and richness that draws comparison to Tolstoy, it encompasses the entire social fabric of Austro-Hungarian society. Shot through with dark humor and tragic irony, The Radetzky March is an unparalleled portrait of a civilization in decline, and as such a universal story for our times. “A masterpiece . . . The totality of Joseph Roth’s work is no less than a tragédie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction. No other contemporary writer, not excepting Thomas Mann, has come close to achieving the wholeness . . . that Lukács cites as our impossible aim.” —Nadine Gordimer
