The Obscene Throne
Infamous Leaders Through Prose, Poetry, and Illustration
Über dieses Buch
Step into a world where history is alive, eccentric, and unforgettable. The Obscene Throne presents the lives of the most infamous leaders the world has known, tyrants, visionaries, and megalomaniacs, through a blend of vivid prose, theatrical monologues, and poetry that swings from the absurd to the haunting.
Illustrated in the dramatic style of copper engravings inspired by Gustave Doré and with historical photographs, each image brings history to life, showing not just the rulers themselves, but the empires, chaos, and cultural landscapes they shaped. From the deserts of Libya to the misty forests of Transylvania, from the palaces of Persia to the cities of modern America, every page immerses you in a world both real and imagined.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, a lover of poetry, or simply in search of a book that entertains as much as it enlightens, The Obscene Throne invites you to witness the spectacle of power, folly, and human ambition. Learn the stories behind the headlines, hear the rulers speak in their own imagined voices, and glimpse the grandeur and absurdity, of history as you have never seen it before.
History is serious. History is cruel. History is farcical. History is alive.
