Indlæser... El prcipe rojo : las vidas secretas de un archiduque Habsburgo247 | 3 | 108,192 |
(4.03) | 9 | Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress. He could handle a saber, a pistol, a rudder, or a golf club; he handled women by necessity and men for pleasure. He spoke the Italian of his archduchess mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule, and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself. In this exhilarating narrative history, prize-winning historian Timothy D. Snyder offers an indelible portrait of an aristocrat whose life personifies the wrenching upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century, as the rule of empire gave way to the new politics of nationalism. Coming of age during the First World War, Wilhelm repudiated his family to fight alongside Ukrainian peasants in hopes that he would become their king. When this dream collapsed he became, by turns, an ally of German imperialists, a notorious French lover, an angry Austrian monarchist, a calm opponent of Hitler, and a British spy against Stalin. Played out in Europe's glittering capitals and bloody battlefields, in extravagant ski resorts and dank prison cells, The Red Prince captures an extraordinary moment in the history of Europe, in which the old order of the past was giving way to an undefined future-and in which everything, including identity itself, seemed up for grabs.… (mere) |

Vergleicht man wie unsere Postmoderne Gesellschaft in ihrer grauen Angestelltensicherheit (bzw. -unsicherheit) vor sich hin lebt mit den Biographien in der umbruchsvollen Zeit von 1914 bis 1945, glaubt man eher wilde Abenteurschundromane zu lesen, als tatsächliche Erlebnisse. (vgl. dazu http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch-Lincoln)
Lustig wird es, wenn z.B. eine französische Betrügerin und Heiratsschwindlerin in die Wilhelm verliebt war, als Gräfin verkleidet den Österreichischen Botschafter in Paris beinahe ums Ohr haut, nachdem sie zuvor Wilhelm die Schuld in einem Betrugsskandal angehängt hat.
Daher Hut ab vor dem Rechercheaufwand!
(Meine) Moral der Geschichte: Das Erbe Hitlers und Stalins greift in Form des Volks- und Nationsgedankens nachwievor und hat überlebt. Die Europäische Union ist eher ein Erbe der Habsburgermonarchie. ( )
