Ljubavni romani porušenih prijestolja
A collection of romantic stories about love dramas in European courts and ruined thrones after World War I, published in Osijek by Job Paal, a Hungarian journalist and writer of popular literature.
It is a collection of love stories and novels in sequels that deal with the fates of European ruling houses and their intimate, often scandalous love affairs during the period of the collapse of the old monarchies. The book describes the loves between members of the aristocracy, royal families, actresses, singers and others, in the context of the fall of the Austro-Hungarian, Habsburg Monarchy and other European thrones after 1918.
The style is typical of popular, escapist and sentimental fiction of the 1930s and 1940s: light, romantic, slightly sensationalist, with an emphasis on passion, intrigue, the rise and fall of great dynasties. It is not high literature, but entertaining prose intended for a wide audience that, on the eve and at the beginning of World War II, was looking for an escape into the world of a failed aristocracy, great emotions and historical upheavals.
The book reflects the taste of readers in Slavonia and Croatia at the time — an interest in European courts, scandals, and romantic stories about "great ladies" and their lovers. Paal was known for similar works about European ruling houses, actresses, and the aristocracy.
