A volume from the series "Small Bavarian Biographies". From 1680 to 1726 Max Emanuel, the "Blue King", as his Turkish wartime opponents respectfully called him, played a significant and ambitious role on the European stage. Bavaria was to become a great power, but military defeats, disasters and exile destroyed this dream. Nevertheless, Max Emanuel is considered the baroque ruler par excellence: a man of pleasure full of dynamic creativity, with a passion for theatre, music and self-realisation. What remains are the collections, the artists' works and the palaces of Nymphenburg and Schleißheim. Marcus Junkelmann portrays the light and shadow of this ruler figure in a gripping and suspenseful way.
