Majesty: A Novel
Christine Bell & Marc D'Hooghe
"Majesty: A Novel" by Louis Couperus is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. It explores the intricacies of royal life and governance against the backdrop of political turmoil in Europe, focusing on the lives and struggles of royal characters, particularly Prince Othomar, heir to the throne of Liparia, as he grapples with the burdens of his title and the impending crises that threaten his family and reign. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to the imperial court of Liparia, where anxiety permeates the atmosphere due to external threats and internal political instability. The Empress Elizabeth contemplates her family's safety amidst a looming crisis, while Prince Othomar displays a deep, introspective turmoil over his inherited responsibilities—a reflection of his royal lineage's challenges. As various characters interact against this backdrop, hints emerge of personal relationships, societal expectations, and the emotional weight the characters carry as they navigate their positions amid the tensions surrounding them. The opening effectively sets the tone for an exploration of majesty, duty, and the human condition intertwined with the nature of power and monarchy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
