History of Friedrich II. of Prussia by Thomas Carlyle
"History of Friedrich II. of Prussia" by Thomas Carlyle is a six-volume biography published between 1858 and 1865. After decades of fascination with Frederick the Great, Carlyle embarked on thirteen years of laborious research and writing, even building a soundproof room to complete the work. The result chronicles Prussia's warrior-king through detailed narrative, battle scenes, and character study. Contemporary writers praised it as a supreme work of literary genius, filled with wit,
humor, and insight—a monument of historical biography. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
