Recenzii
'Nobody who writes in future about Louis XVI will be able to ignore Hardman.'
'Hardman's command of the political history of the age and the intimate and intricate doings of the court is impressive.'
'The historian of the Revolution, however, will find unique insights into a king who argued that he sincerely loved the people, who bemoaned the lack of morality on the international scene, who preferred peace to war, and who read Thomas a Kempis in prison. This book presents a nuanced view of an honorable man who believed that ""one can never govern a country against its inclinations.""...No one can rival his understanding of the various facets of the king's personality or of the sources.'
'Thought provoking, if not always entirely clear in argument, this work is recommended for undergraduate and general readership.'

Descriere

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The reign of Louis XVI, which ended with the guillotining of Louis and his queen, Marie Antoinette, in 1793, is a dramatic and crucial part of French history. John Hardman presents the first complete and authoritative biography of Louis XVI, a poignant tale that recounts how the King's stature grew as his power declined.
