Wereldvrede

by Louis Couperus

Wereldvrede (World Peace) is a novel by Louis Couperus, a sequel to his previous work 'Majesteit' (Majesty). It follows the story of Crown Prince Othomar who ascends to the throne as Emperor Othomar XII after the death of his father, Oscar. The narrative explores the themes of international justice, power dynamics, and the looming threat of war. Couperus uses the backdrop of a fictional European empire to address contemporary concerns about international relations and the need for a unified legal framework.
