review: Queen Louise's letters

This book contains a selection The letters, which wrote the Prussian Queen Luise (1776-1810). The letters are preceded by a preface that outlines a few pages to her life. I will spare myself the small text at this point reduced play, but refer to my review on the book Queen Louise of Prussia. A star in storm clouds, which deals very well with the life of the Prussian.

Louise had learned as a child of the French language and letter-writing as the Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Dr. Sabine Anders, the editor of the letters, says in her foreword not without reason that the list of persons appointed by Luise your letter recipients regularly and greet, which directs itself, sometimes give the impression as if letters at that time had a similar role and a similar function as the social networking with the collection of "friends" today. (See: p.10)


We learn in the preface that in those days people of Louise's daily can often spent several hours writing letters to impress the recipients or to pay respect to them.


The editor is able to provide a very interesting picture of Louise, as her letters to her fiancé and future husband, to her father, her brother George, but also letters to the Empress of Austria, to Emperor Alexander I., to Baron von Stein, to Baron von Hardenberg, and even to Napoleon and other personalities more presents. These letters are consistent with the picture, however, that in "Queen Louise of Prussia. A star in weather clouds" from the charming Prussian is drawn.


All these letters give the impression that Louise was a remarkable, very thoughtful woman who had many interesting facets of character that made her a really lovable person, regardless of all that she was the gracious Queen of Prussia. Louise was a fabulous man of great nobility of soul. Definitely.
