Kemper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles the tragic tale of Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, who was persuaded to accept the throne of Mexico amidst a tumultuous period marked by civil strife and foreign intervention. The text highlights Maximilian's noble intentions and ultimate failures as he confronts betrayal, hostility, and a heart-wrenching fate. The opening of the book presents a translator's preface that sets the tone for Maximilian's lamentable story. It introduces the character of Maximilian, who is depicted as a well-educated and gentle ruler, unprepared for the brutal realities of Mexican politics and warfare. The introduction also foreshadows the unfortunate fate befalling his wife, Empress Carlotta, whom harsh circumstances eventually drive to madness. As the narrative progresses, the reader begins to grasp the complex political landscape that shaped Maximilian's rule, detailing his initial hopes and the challenges he encountered as he attempted to restore order and governance to a deeply divided nation.
