Ohne Pomp und großes Gefolge durch Europa: Die faszinierende Geschichte des Habsburger Kaisers Joseph II. - Ausgezeichnet mit dem Friedrich-Schiedel-Literaturpreis 2023 Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts geraten die europäischen Monarchien ins Wanken. Der Sohn Maria Theresias, Kaiser Joseph II., erkennt den Reformbedarf und greift begierig die Ideen der Aufklärung auf. Ohne Pomp und großes Gefolge - inkognito - bereist er sein riesiges Reich. Mit eigenen Augen sieht er, wie seine Untertanen leben, unter Frondiensten leiden, hungern. Er trifft einfache Menschen ebenso wie Fürsten und Könige, besucht Krankenhäuser und Fabriken, immer auf der Suche nach neuen Erkenntnissen für den Aufbau seines modernen Staates. Bei seiner Schwester in Versailles sieht er die Französische Revolution heraufziehen. Am Ende hat Joseph II. ein Viertel seiner Regierungszeit unterwegs verbracht. Monika Czernin schildert einen außergewöhnlichen Herrscher, der seiner Zeit in vielem voraus war. »Vielleicht der vollkommenste aufgeklärte Herrscher in der europäischen Geschichte.« A. C. Macartney Eine der 100 Literatur-Empfehlungen für 100 Jahre eines Lebens im Magazin der »Süddeutschen Zeitung« vom 25. Februar 2022
