Ludwig II (1845-1886) was the most famous and popular king of Bavaria, patron of the arts, patron of the composer Richard Wagner, creator of such architectural masterpieces as Neuschwanstein Castle, Linderhof and Herrenhiemsee palaces. Ludwig II, as he wished, remained for his contemporaries and future generations "an eternal enigma for himself and others". There are still many rumors and legends surrounding the king's personality. The pacifist Ludwig II was involved against his will in the wars of German unification, which caused him severe suffering, from which he became increasingly alienated from the world around him and built his own dream world, becoming a "shadow king without power".
Based on a wide documentary base, the book debunks myths about the monarch's madness, strange behavior, apolitical nature, and mysterious death.
