A masterwork of Polish literary fiction, The King of the Two Sicilies by Andrzej Kuśniewicz chronicles the psychological unraveling of a young Austro-Hungarian officer during the catastrophic campaigns of World War One. Set against the crumbling grandeur of the Habsburg Empire, the novel presents a haunting portrait of a generation consumed by a war that destroyed an entire civilisation. Kuśniewicz writes with lyrical precision, weaving together memory, identity, and disillusionment into a richly atmospheric narrative that stands as one of the great anti-war novels of Central European literature. Originally published in Polish, the novel draws on the author's own wartime experiences, lending the prose an unsettling authenticity and elegiac power.
