Cardinal
Armand-Jean du Plessis, duc de Richelieu is one of the most famous --
or infamous politicians of all time. Made a villain in the popular
Dumas novel, "The Three Musketeers," the real man was a
dedicated public servant loyal to king and country. A man of logic
and reason, he transformed how we think about nations and
nationality. He secularized wars between countries, patronized the
arts for the sake of the public good, founded the first newspaper in
France, and created France as the modern country we know
today.
Filled
with period music, dance, and plenty of romance, "His Red
Eminence" transports you back to the court of King Louis XIII in
all its vibrant and living color.
Includes
eight period songs, plus prayers, a detailed timeline, and extensive
bibliography so you can keep learning.

ReplyDeleteThe cover fits the book quite well.
ReplyDeleteAm so glad books like this are still being written. I've had it up to here with movies that try to update historical tales (Look! D'Artagnan does martial arts! Look! King Arthur's court line dances!) That said, I did miss Peter Capaldi. I wish you much success with this book.
