Mycket gott skick.
This is the definitive account of France's greatest age. The story is retold here by a great historian in a narrative in which broad interpretation is balanced and informed by a vivid evocation of incident and individual inspiration.
Ladurie describes how to death of Marie de Médicis marked the end f moderate, decadent monarchy and the and the inauiguration of the age absolutism under Louis XIII's chief minister, Richelieu.
Richelieu introduced system to e chaos of administration, cunningly manipulated the warring nations of Europe to the ends of France, and bequeathed to Mazarin and Louis XIV a state machine that was efficient, rational and above all, funded.
What Richelieu achieved in the name of sovereignty, the new king swiftly concentrated in himself, conformity took precedence over service, style over loyalty, exhibition over economy.
