S. de Count Brühl Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive "Count Brühl" by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Henry Brühl, a young page serving at the court of Augustus II of Saxony and Poland, as he navigates the complexities of court life, ambition, and relationships amidst a backdrop of royal hunts, political maneuverings, and personal intrigues. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene of a successful royal hunt, highlighting the lavishness and social dynamics of 18th-century court life. We are introduced to Brühl, whose beauty and charm win him favor among the nobility, and his friendship with Count Sulkowski, a figure of rising influence. As the narrative unfolds, Brühl grapples with his status and ambitions while encountering a range of characters, from the King himself to the scheming nobility. His journey reflects both the allure and the danger of seeking power in a world filled with rivalry, jealousy, and the ever-present threat of being outmaneuvered by others.
