Marija Terezija

Marija Terezija

Karl Tschuppik

A biography of the Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa, one of the most influential rulers of the 18th century. Tschuppik, an Austrian historian and journalist, provides a vivid portrait of her life and reign, combining historical facts with a narrative style.

Maria Theresa, the only woman to rule the Habsburg Monarchy, faced enormous challenges after her father's death in 1740. Without a male heir, her claim to the throne was contested by European rulers, leading to the War of the Austrian Succession. Tschuppik highlights her political skill, tenacity, and ability to secure the support of the nobility and the people. With reforms in education, the army, finance, and the judiciary, she modernized the empire, consolidating its power.

The work also highlights her private life: mother of 16 children, the most famous of whom is Marie Antoinette, and wife of Emperor Francis I. Tschuppik depicts her piety, but also her pragmatism in diplomatic games, such as the conflict with Prussia (Seven Years' War). The novel also reveals her weaknesses, such as her intolerance of non-Catholic subjects.

Tschuppik's style is engaging, with an emphasis on dramatic moments and psychological insights. The book reflects admiration for Maria Theresa, but also a critical review of her conservative views.
