Omschrijving

""Metternich"" by Arthur Herman is a comprehensive biography of Prince Klemens von Metternich, the Austrian statesman who played a pivotal role in shaping European politics during the early 19th century. The book chronicles Metternich's life from his early years as a diplomat in Brussels to his rise as the Austrian Empire's chief minister and architect of the Congress of Vienna. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Metternich's own extensive writings, Herman provides a detailed portrait of a complex and controversial figure who was both revered and reviled in his time. The book explores Metternich's political philosophy, his relationships with other European leaders, and his efforts to maintain the balance of power in Europe during a time of great upheaval. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage to a wealthy heiress and his role as a patron of the arts. With its meticulous research and engaging narrative, ""Metternich"" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Europe and the rise of modern diplomacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
