An Empress in Exile: My Days in Doorn is a memoir written by Hermine, the Empress of Germany, who was exiled to the Netherlands with her husband, Kaiser Wilhelm II, after the end of World War I. The book chronicles Hermine's life in Doorn, a small town in the Netherlands where the couple lived in exile for over two decades until Wilhelm's death. The book offers a unique perspective on the life of a royal family in exile, as Hermine describes the challenges of adjusting to a new life in a foreign country, the difficulties of maintaining a sense of dignity and purpose in the face of political upheaval, and the emotional toll of being separated from her family and friends in Germany. Hermine also provides insight into the daily routines and activities of the exiled royal couple, including their social interactions with the local community, their hobbies and interests, and their efforts to maintain their royal status and influence in a world that had largely moved on from monarchies. Overall, An Empress in Exile is a fascinating and intimate portrait of a little-known chapter in European history, told from the perspective of one of its most significant figures. It offers a glimpse into the personal struggles and triumphs of a woman who, despite being stripped of her royal title and status, remained steadfast in her commitment to her husband and her country.This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
