Summary "Majesteit" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book appears to examine the intricate dynamics of royal life, touching on themes of power, familial ties, and personal anxieties. The narrative centers around Empress Elizabeth of Liparië, her complex emotions surrounding her family, especially her children, and their ties to broader political and social issues, setting a tone of underlying foreboding. The opening of "Majesteit" paints a vivid picture of the idyllic but tension-filled setting of Lipara, where the beautiful architecture and serene landscapes contrast sharply with the unease felt by the empress. She sits in her palace, engaged with her lady-in-waiting, Helene, as they navigate feelings of anxiety and familial obligations, magnified by current events and communications from the emperor. The narrative introduces significant characters, including Prince Herman, her nephew, hinting at depth and complexity in their relationships amid the backdrop of a looming crisis, with a focus on the emotional landscape intertwined with the political turbulence of the time.
