By Empress Hermine and Hermine

Book Overview

An Empress In Exile: My Days In Doorn is a memoir written by Hermine, Empress of Germany, about her life in exile after the fall of the German Empire. The book chronicles her experiences living in Doorn, a small town in the Netherlands, where she and her husband, Kaiser Wilhelm II, were forced to live after fleeing Germany in 1918. The memoir provides a rare glimpse into the life of an exiled monarch, detailing the challenges faced by the couple as they adjusted to their new circumstances. Hermine writes about the difficulties of living in a foreign country, the loss of her status and privileges as an empress, and the strain on her marriage as a result of their forced exile. Despite the challenges, Hermine also describes moments of joy and happiness during her time in Doorn. She writes about the beauty of the Dutch countryside, the kindness of the local people, and the love and support of her family. An Empress In Exile is a poignant and intimate portrait of a woman who, despite losing everything she held dear, managed to find strength and resilience in the face of adversity. It offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in European history and provides insight into the lives of those who were affected by it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
