Summary "Berlin and Sans-Souci; Or, Frederick the Great and His Friends" by L. Mühlbach is a historical romance likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the life and relationships surrounding Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia, intertwining his story with the intrigues and personal dilemmas of those in his court, including courtiers, family members, and a diverse cast of characters from artists to secretaries. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the serene gardens of Charlottenburg on a bright May morning, where we meet Joseph and Fredersdorf, a private secretary to the king, who engage in a conversation about mystical pursuits and the desire to summon the devil to reveal the secret of creating gold. As the dialogue unfolds, we also glimpse into the ambitions and struggles of these characters against the backdrop of courtly life in Berlin. The tone is imbued with humor, ambition, and hints of deeper conflicts, setting the stage for a tale that weaves together elements of personal aspiration and the political machinations of the period.
