Jefferson. NC: McFarland and Company, 2018.
Tells parallel stories about two men at opposite ends of the socal scale living in separate societies in the same country at the same time. The country was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The time was over 100 years ago, at the end of the 19th and the begnning of the 20th centuries. The empreror was Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary. The peasant was my wife's grandfather, Samuel Mozolak, who lived in a Slovak village in Hungary, one-half of the empire. The emperor's story is told in the odd-numberd chapters; the peasant's in the even-numbered ones.
