Herr Maxmilian Harden is Germany’s most forcible writer. The outspoken criticisms on men and matters which he writes as editor of the famous “Zukunft” are read and discussed far beyond the borders of his native land, and have more than once brought him into conflict with the authorities.
In “Monarchs and Men” he gives us some brilliant biographical essays on seven great European figures, most notable among which is our King, Edward VII.
While it is often impossible to agree with Herr Harden’s conclusions, one cannot ignore them, and no one who is abreast of modern thought will deny the high value of his virile essays.
Contents:—King Edward VII—King Albert of Saxony—Pope Leo XIII—The Emperor of Austria—The Tsar of Russia—M. Briand, Ex-Prime Minister of France—Lueger—Tolstoi and Rockefeller.
