Product Information

Frederick II of Prussia (1712 - 1786) the Old Fritz saw himself as the first servant of state. His strategic skill because of which Prussia could finally establish a great power in Europe soon gave him the additional name "the Great". Frankness and tolerance which he is admired for still today characterised him. That is why he abolished torture and proclaimed freedom of religion, he made the potato foodstuff and this way prevented great poverty. The establishment of a powerful civil service should make it possible that every citizen was treated equally.

Biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
In his work Ludwig Nohl writes about the life of his fellow countryman Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart beginning with travelling in his childhood and youth around Europe until his marriage with Constanze Weber and his tragic death. As it is often the case Mozart was only insufficiently regarded throughout his life but is a gift to following generations that we can be grateful for. His biography is also concerned with his great works without getting to scientific. Quotations from numberless letters by Mozart paint an image of the composer who maintained a certain childish naivety in his life. Ludwig Nohl: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Biography. Hard cover in a slipcase, 512 pages, 38 x 53 mm, Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig 2006. German edition. The decoration is only for view and not part of the offered product.
