The Universal Spider
Author: Philippe de Commynes
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
"The 'Memoirs' of Philippe de Commynes have been celebrated for more than four hundred years both as a remarkable literary work and as a priceless controbution to the history of the fifteenth century. They fall into two quite different parts. The first (comprising Books I-VI) narrates the intense, violent struggle for the dominance of western Europe between Louis XI of France and his greatest vassal, Charles the Rash, Duke of Burgundy, which was resolved by the triumph of the king; it begins with the appearance of Commynes on the political scene in 1464 as a young squire in the service of the House of Burgundy and ends in 1483 with the death of Louis XI, at which Commynes was himself present. In the second part (Books VII-VIII) he recounts the first French invation of Italy in 1494 under Louis XI's feeble son, Charles VIII. He took part in that ill-fated expedition, s a royal councillor and diplomat, and fought at Charles VIII's side in the desperate battle of Fornovo; but the chief adviser and confidant of Louis XI enjoyed little influence in King Charles' frivolous household. The 'Memoirs' conclude in 1498, following the death of Charles VIII, with Commynes' entering the service of that monarch's successor, Louis XII. It is the earlier, and much richer, part of the 'Memoirs' that is here translated." -- introduction, page 7.

Louis XI
Author: Paul Murray Kendall
Publisher: Fayard/Pluriel
ISBN: 2818504619
Category : History
Languages : fr
Pages : 738
Book Description
L’histoire de Louis XI est celle d’un homme qui sut imposer ses décisions, qui dut garder sans cesse l’esprit en éveil, plier le temps à ses desseins, être deux fois plus habile et trois plus rapide que ses semblables, et cacher son sens de la comédie derrière les gestes du conformisme. Ce livre nous montre l’image d’un homme aux capacités exceptionnelles, doué d’une personnalité diverse et complexe. Certains le considéraient comme « le plus subtil qui soit ». Pourtant, peu après sa mort, on racontait qu’il s’abreuvait du sang des nouveau-nés au cours de sa dernière maladie, était l’assassin de son frère et se délectait à écouter les cris de ses victimes torturées. En abandonnant la légende pour retrouver la vie, Paul Murray Kendall révèle les vraies dimensions de l’homme, son habileté à charmer, son insatiable curiosité, son goût de la loyauté. Tout cela dans une biographie qui apporte une contribution essentielle à l’histoire du xve siècle tout en demeurant d’une lecture facile et passionnante. Paul Murray Kendall (1911-1973) a enseigné l’histoire à l’université de l’Ohio et à celle du Kansas. Il a consacré plusieurs ouvrages à l’histoire du xve siècle. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Éric Diacon.
