History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 01 by Thomas Carlyle
"History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 01" by Thomas Carlyle is a biography published between 1858 and 1865. This monumental six-volume work chronicles the life of Frederick the Great of Prussia, a project that consumed thirteen years of Carlyle's life. Born from a fascination that began in 1819, the Scottish historian embarked on exhaustive research, toured German battlefields, and even built a soundproof writing room to complete this ambitious undertaking.
The result became one of his most celebrated works, praised for its wit, vivid characterization, and literary genius. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
