| Summary | "Ferdinand of Bulgaria: The Amazing Career of a Shoddy Czar" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and reign of Ferdinand, the Czar of Bulgaria, delving into the complexities of his character and the political landscape of the time. Ferdinand's ambitious yet controversial journey from a lesser-known prince to a significant figure in European politics serves as the central focus of the narrative. The opening of the work portrays Ferdinand as an outcast among royalty, initially met with disdain and ridicule during a procession in London. The chapter introduces a series of political intrigues as Bulgarian delegates struggle to find a suitable prince to lead their nation, finally settling on Ferdinand, who is described with a mix of elegance and farcical attributes. The account juxtaposes the glamorous perception Ferdinand attempts to cultivate with the harsh realities of his upbringing and the struggles he faces in a foreign land, setting the stage for the ensuing political maneuvers and personal tribulations that characterize his reign.
