Alone In The Purple: A Story Of The Last Days Of King Ludwig II Of Bavaria is a historical novel published in 1912 by Clarissa Lohde-Boetticher. The book tells the story of the last days of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was known for his eccentric behavior and his love of art and music. The novel is set in the late 19th century and follows the king as he becomes increasingly isolated in his castle, surrounded by his own delusions and fantasies. The title Alone In The Purple refers to the king's habit of dressing in purple and his desire for solitude. The book is a fictionalized account of the events leading up to the king's mysterious death, which some believe was a murder. Through the eyes of a young woman who becomes the king's confidant, the novel explores themes of power, madness, and the price of artistic genius. Overall, Alone In The Purple is a gripping and emotional tale that offers a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating figures in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
