Product Description
Review
'Finally we have a new edition of Christopher McIntosh's The Swan King: Ludwig II of Bavaria from Tauris Parke Paperbacks, first published in 1982. The story of Bavaria's mad king still fascinates...' --Contemporary Review
Product Description
This is a biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the 19th century, described by Verlaine as 'the only true king of his century'. A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream-world to escape the responsibilities of state. In the realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, while his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses. At the age of 40, declared insane in a plot to depose him, Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances.

First Sentence
The whirlwind of revolutions which swept through Europe in the year 1848 might have passed by the normally contended little kingdom of Bavaria had it not been for the indiscretion of an old king and the ambition of an Irish dancing girl of iron will and strong sexual magnetism. Read the first page
