Résumé
A seal in red wax. Prague, 1569. In the silent corridors of the Imperial Chancellery, the heavy seal of Emperor Maximilian II falls into identical, red wax. For Georg Helfferich the Elder and his cousin Georg Helfferich, this is the moment of truth: the official recognition of their descent from the qualified Counts of Helfenstein. With the Elephant's coat of arms in hand, the world lies at their feet.
While the dream of the Elephant leads part of the family to the gilded palaces of the Russian Tsars, to unprecedented wealth and power, Georg Helfferich the Younger chooses a different path. He returns to the misty orchards and half-timbered houses of the village of Owen beneath Teck. In his quiver, he carries the letter of nobility that will determine the course of his descendants for centuries. The Elephant's Journey is a compelling epic about bloodlines, ambition, and the indestructible bond with one's native soil.
Against the backdrop of the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War, a family fights to preserve its identity, while the memory of their noble lineage is kept as a valuable relic.
