"Long Live the King!" by Guy Boothby is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Paul, the son of King Maximilian of Pannonia, as he reflects on his upbringing and the turbulent events that led to his family seeking refuge after the fall of the monarchy. The narrative is steeped in themes of destiny, familial loyalty, and political intrigue, centering around the relationship between Paul and his brother, Maximilian, as well as their struggles against the backdrop of revolution. At the start of the book, the narrator, Paul, reminisces about his childhood and the stark contrast between his past and the present, where their family is in exile after fleeing unrest in Pannonia. The intriguing initial moments detail Paul’s memories of royal life, including the stark differences between his scholarly father and ambitious mother and an early encounter with gypsies predicting rival fortunes for him and his brother. These prophecies set a tone of impending conflict that permeates their lives, culminating in a dramatic series of events leading to their escape from the palace as revolutionaries threaten their safety. Through these reflections, Boothby lays the groundwork for a tale exploring the fates of royal families and the personal impacts of political upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
