In the tumultuous world of revolutionary France, the enigmatic diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord survived–and shaped–five regimes. Duff Cooper’s elegant biography reveals a man as brilliant as he was controversial; the ‘quick-witted little boy’ who enjoyed the anachronistic world of his great-grandmother’s château became the shrewd, silver-tongued servant of multiple kings and revolutionary leaders. From the salons of pre-revolutionary Paris to the negotiating tables of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna, the turncoat Talleyrand exercised his wit, pragmatism and moral ambiguity.

Французская революция XVIII века стала парадоксом для всего мира. Борьба за права человека и свободу народоизъявления обернулась кровавыми репрессиями и массовыми казнями. Революция уравняла права граждан перед законом — и вместе с тем их шансы оказаться под лезвием гильотины. Был ли террор хаотичным порождением казней Максимилиана Робеспьера или тщательно спланированной революционной политикой?

The Maginot Line was a marvel of 1930s engineering. The huge forts, up to eighty meters underground, contained hospitals, modern kitchens, telephone exchanges, and even electric trains. Kilometers of underground galleries led to casements hidden in the terrain, and turrets that rose from the ground to fire upon the enemy. The fortifications were invulnerable to the heaviest artillery and to chemical warfare. Despite this extensive preparation, France fell to Germany in a little under six weeks.

But just a few short years later, the dynasty which had ruled France for over 800 years was swept away. What happened to cause such devastating change to the long-established political structure?

Todos los franceses conocen al Charles de Gaulle militar, al político, al hombre de Estado, y todos recuerdan su guasa, su ingenio, su sentido del humor y su habilidad para la réplica aguda. Y, por supuesto, su causticidad inimitable. Todos los que lo rodeaban fueron sus víctimas, al igual que ese partido político del que él declaraba: «No puedo decir que los deteste. Se puede detestar a Hitler o a Stalin. No se puede detestar la nada». Cada una de sus agudezas daba en el blanco, cualquiera que fuera el objetivo; pero el humor, feroz a más no poder, nunca era verdaderamente gratuito.

Des derniers Valois à l’avènement d’Henri IV, ce tome embrasse la Gascogne au temps des successions disputées, des fastes de Navarre et des guerres de Religion qui enflamment Béarn, Armagnac et Bigorre. Au fil des pages, défilent couronnements et serments à Pampelune, intrigues des Foix et des Albret, sièges, chevauchées et traités fragiles, jusqu’à Coutras et aux heures décisives où se joue l’unité du royaume.
