Maurice Druon, the reader, first of all, knows the “damned kings” saga, which revealed the gloomy secrets of the Middle Ages, and the “End of People” cycle, telling about the backstage of modern society, about the sunset of the dynasty of financiers and industrialists. The “End of People” trilogy is the most significant work of Druon.
Heroes of the first novel “Be Bes,” who lived in France at the beginning of the 20th century, can boast of family ties with the French nobility. Their condition is calculated by millions of francs. Their children are the richest heirs in Paris. Why is there no peace in this family? Powerful politicians, financial gates, aristocrats and nouveau riche-everyone once old. Heroes of the second novel “The Cream of Pillars” are overtaken by diseases and physical ailments. Their children, on the contrary, enter into force, their grandchildren are growing up, but the old people, with their amazing will to life, experience and tenacity, are trying to influence a new generation, proving that it is early to write off accounts. The third novel of the cycle is called Date in hell. The wealth and power of the family Shudler and de la Montney resemble only loud titles and a tribal castle stubbornly renovated. The inheritance of Mari-Ange and Jean-Noel went to the notqueatable millions, but the burden of a decrepit clan, spinelessness and cowardice. How to withstand hell of communication with loving people? In addition, according to the remark of one of the heroes of the novel, “each is fraught with his own hell”
