Louis XIV and his century. In 2 volumes

The French king Louis XIV from the Bourbon dynasty ruled France 72 years. These years are called the century of Louis, and the era of his reign - the time of the absolute monarchy. Nevertheless, there is not much known about the man who created this age. Sometimes it may seem that Louis XIV glorified only the dictum of "state - this is me!".
Alexander Dumas corrected this injustice by writing one of the most detailed and fascinating biographies of the Sun king - "Louis XIV and his age", which we are glad to present to your attention. The story erected Louis XIV to the pedestal, but meanwhile he knew not only glory and flattery, love and adoration, but also the bitterness of resentment, defeats and failures. This work is a portrait of man in all stages of his life - unhappy childhood and miserable old age, joy and grief, love and hatred, weakness and greatness. The narrative begins long before the birth of Louis. To understand what he inherited, we must figure out who his parents were - Louis XIII and Anna Austrian. "Louis XIV and his century" is the correct name of the novel. Because if it were just a biography of the king, she could come out vulgar and boring. But the people who surrounded him - this is the real decoration of the era, thanks to them the age of Louis was very stormy and interesting. The most interesting and witty dialogues of famous people also found their place on the pages of the novel by Dumas "Louis XIV and his age".
We are sure that connoisseurs of historical novels will receive true pleasure from the book
