Translated from the original in German, the history has a decidedly "liberal" German perspective. Eyck uses a series of coincidences to give unity to his ambitious tale: The elder Pitt and Henry Fox, destined like their sons to be political rivals, entered the House of Commons the same year, 1735; Pitt, like young Charles, spent long years in opposition, detested by the king; the two Pitts, like the two Foxes, were second sons; three of the four were happily married; three were spendthrifts; Pitt the younger died at forty-six, exactly Bismarck's age when he became prime minister of Prussia; William and Charles both died in 1806.
