Summary "Napoleon and the Queen of Prussia" by L. Mühlbach is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the tumultuous period during and after the battles of Jena and Auerstadt, focusing on the experiences of Prussian officers and the influential figure of Queen Louisa. Central characters include Lieutenant Ferdinand von Schill and Count Pückler, who grapple with their recent defeat and the looming threat of Napoleon's forces, driving them to rethink their personal and national identities. At the start of the novel, the narrative immerses us in the aftermath of the disastrous battles of Jena and Auerstadt. The opening depicts the chaos and horror on the battlefield, highlighting the devastation faced by the Prussian soldiers, particularly through the eyes of the wounded officer Ferdinand von Schill. His desperate attempts to escape the battleground are interspersed with reflections on the loss of honor and national pride. Meanwhile, he encounters Count Pückler, and together they solidify their resolve not to surrender to the enemy's might, binding themselves in an oath of vengeance for their homeland, signaling the beginning of their quest to restore Prussian honor against Napoleon's reign.
