Sinossi
Excerpt from Cinq-Mars, Ou Une Conjuration Sous Louis XIII
IN preparing this edition of cinq-mars for use as a text-book, I have aimed at preserving, as far as possible, each of the three excellences which it possesses for such a purpose, its historical value as a picture of Richelieu and his time, its interest as a romance, and the classical purity of its style. To bring the book within the compass of one volume, large omissions have been neces sary. The striking episode of Grandier's trial, though it has no direct connexion with the main story, seemed too valuable as an illustration of the spirit of the age to be omitted. The narrative which sup plies the place of the excised chapters is sufficiently full to keep up the interest of the plot. The notes are rather historical than grammatical; and, while I have tried to avoid the common fault of over-annotation, I hope that no real difficulty of language has.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in 1639 France, is best described as a historical fiction romance. The author immerses us in a meticulously researched period, capturing the essence of early 17th century France. At the heart of the story is the tumultuous relationship between King Louis XIII and his ambitious Prime Minister, Cardinal Richelieu. The plot revolves around a conspiracy led by the King's favorite, Cinq-Mars, a young man driven by unbridled ambition and blind to the consequences of his actions. As tensions rise, Cinq-Mars becomes entangled in a web of treachery and deceit, and the novel races toward a climax that will determine the fate of France itself. The book not only provides a thrilling narrative but also offers insights into the complexities of power, loyalty, and betrayal. The author adeptly portrays the struggles of a nation grappling with internal strife, where personal ambitions collide with the greater good.
