Synopsis
Excerpt from L'Incomparable Florimond: Mœurs du Temps de Louis XIII
Quand il eut bien musé dans le potager où, sous le grand soleil de midi, les papillons jaunes ou blancs voltigeaient entre les ombelles des fenouils et des carottes, louis-antoine passa le pont de bois jeté sur le ruisseau et s'en fut par la campagne. Sous son bras gauche il avait un De civitate Dei, relié en peau de truie, avec des fermoirs de cuivre, dont un manquait, et de la main droite il tenait un croûton de pain où ses dents mordaient avec l'audace d'une jeunesse de seize ans. Car ce pain de ménage, pétri et cuit chez sa mère, était plus dur et compact que les cailloux du ruisseau.

The book's rich descriptions of their personal journeys and the concurrent political climate create a multifaceted portrait of the difficulties faced by those at either end of the societal spectrum during the period. The reader will be left with a vivid sense of the world the author recreates, enriched by an understanding of the complex dynamics between power, love, and social change during this era of French history.
