- Book 2 of 10: THE PARDAILLAN A Complete Cycle in Ten Volumes By Michel Zévaco | Translated by Edgard Bronce-Ceray
Paris, August 1572. The bells of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois are about to ring.
The Chevalier de Pardaillan and his father rot in the dungeons of the Temple, awaiting the rack. Above them, Catherine de Medici is weaving the final threads of a conspiracy twenty years in the making. A mad astrologer plots to drain the chevalier's blood for a ritual of reincarnation. And across the city, the white crosses are going up on the doors.
When the tocsin sounds at three in the morning on the 24th of August 1572 — the feast of Saint Bartholomew — Paris will become a slaughterhouse.
The Epic of Love is the thunderous second volume of Michel Zévaco's legendary cycle, Les Pardaillan — one of the great untranslated masterworks of French popular literature, now available in English for the first time in a complete, professional translation.
In this volume, the Pardaillans face their most impossible odds yet: imprisoned, outnumbered, unarmed, and caught in the middle of the worst religious massacre in French history. Zévaco traces the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre through a gallery of extraordinary figures — the deranged king who laughs and weeps in the same breath, the iron-willed queen mother who signs a massacre as calmly as she signs a decree, the admiral who faces his assassin with the serenity of a Stoic. And at the heart of it all, two men — one young, one old — who between them clear entire courtyards of enemies armed with nothing but pike-staves, spurs, and an absolute refusal to be crushed.
This is the novel that contains the slap heard across all of Paris. The three hundred women who storm a prison. The living bridge. The titans on the wall. And the old rover's last inn, on the hillside of Montmartre, under a beech tree that stands there still.
Successor to Alexandre Dumas, forerunner of Edmond Rostand, celebrated by Jean-Paul Sartre — Michel Zévaco deserves to be read in English. At last, he can be.
The Pardaillan cycle spans ten volumes covering fifty years of French history, from the Wars of Religion to the reign of Henri IV. Volume I: Les Pardaillan is also available.
Translated by Edgard Bronce-Ceray.
