Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intense challenges of rule through the narrative of Carl, Emperor of Ruhland and Lusatia. Detailing his grueling obligations, the book paints a picture of the relentless workload and monotonous routine endured at the highest level of government. The author reveals how Carl yearns for respite from the crushing burden of his position. Faced with mental and physical depletion, he stumbles upon an unexpected solution that enables him to escape the confines of his demanding role while upholding appearances - a double. The narrative delves into the moral implications and potential risks of such a maneuver, raising questions about authenticity, duty, and the complexities of modern governance. Ultimately, the book deftly articulates the profound insights gained by an Emperor who dared to relinquish the reigns of absolute authority, thereby shedding new light on the ever-relevant subject of rulership and its deep-seated responsibilities.
