Store stamped. --- --- When Eddie Livingston took a tutoring job in Schleswig-Holstein in 1929 all he was thinking about was bringing his German up to the standard required for the Foreign Office examination. But from the moment of his arrival at the Enchantingly beautiful rococo house set deep in the forest at the edge of the dark lake from which it took its name, Schwarzensee, he found himself in a world cut off from the twentieth century, cut off from society, isolated, inward-looking and entwined with the past. . . . .That there were reasons as dark and secret as the lake itself for this breaking off of all but the barest contact with the outer world, he soon comes to realize. His pupil Alexander is an intensely attractive, intelligent boy. He wants to escape from his backwater and embark on a stage career. In helping him to do so Eddie involves himself in the unexpected guilt of the family. . . . .Schwarzensee had been the home of the Plevke family since it had been given to them by Catherine the Great. The Count Plevke of the day had been one of her lovers and had had a hand in the murder of the mad Czar that brought her to the throne. The Russian Imperial Eagle is a prominent motif in the decoration of the Schloss. Its owner, the old Countess, Alexander's grandmother, has half come to identify herself with the Empress. The clock had stopped at the end of the eighteenth century. . . . .Years later Eddie is serving in the British Embassy at Vienna. Hitler is threatening his neighbors. Austria will fall at any moment: Czechoslovakia is already feeling the tremors. Alexander's reappearance as a world-famous actor sets off a chain of events in Eddie's life that ends where it began at Schwarzensee, ruined, like the rest of Europe, in the German catastrophe. . .See photos for additional content. . .
