En pleno fragor de la batalla de Solferino, que en 1859 marc� para el imperio austro-h�ngaro el comienzo de la p�rdida de sus territorios italianos, el teniente Trotta salva inesperadamente la vida del emperador Francisco Jos�. A partir de entonces el destino de la ennoblecida familia von Trotta -cuyos avatares narra esta novela- parece quedar irrevocablemente ligado al de la dinast�a reinante y su declive, que correr� paralelo a lo largo de tres generaciones. Con una gran capacidad de evocaci�n y una exquisita iron�a no exenta de nostalgia, la novela nos transporta a un mundo en decadencia que se resiste a dejar de ser tanto como muchos se resisten a despedirse de �l.
