About this book
In the aftermath of a crumbling empire, the Hohenzollerns find themselves in an unfamiliar America, where the echoes of monarchy clash with the ideals of democracy. Stephen Leacock’s "The Hohenzollerns in America: With the Bolsheviks in Berlin and Other Impossibilities" presents a satirical exploration of a royal family grappling with the concept of unalienable rights and the peculiarities of American life. This witty narrative invites students, civic activists, and historians to reflect on the absurdities of power and identity in a new world. As the Hohenzollerns navigate their unexpected reality, Leacock deftly highlights the tensions between old-world privilege and the burgeoning spirit of a republic. Discover the humor and insight that emerge when history meets imagination.
