History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 20

"History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 20" by Thomas Carlyle is part of a monumental six-volume biography published between 1858 and 1865. This volume continues Carlyle's epic chronicle of Frederick the Great, a work born from decades of fascination and thirteen years of laborious research. Through vivid narrative, wit, and moral insight, Carlyle brings Prussia's warrior-king to life. The Scottish historian's masterwork, written in his specially built soundproof study, transforms historical figures from "dolls stuffed with bran" into flesh-and-blood characters that bleed when pricked.
