Last King of Poland by Adam Zamoyski
This is the story of Stanislaw Antoni Poniatowski, the last King of Poland. He transformed the mood and outlook of his country and brought it to a new phase of independence and reform, but his work was destroyed by the partitioning of Poland and he was eventually forced to abdicate.Fascinating biography of the last King of Poland, and an account of a personal dream with all the elements of Grand tragedy. Young King Stanislaw Antoni Poniatowski was a perfect illustration of the contradictions of Europe's ideological and religious viewpoints: worshipped reason but was led by the heart. Stanislaw was eventually obliged to watch the destruction of his lifes work, and ultimately forced to abdicate, a broken man, deceived and disillusioned. |
