Robert Merivel, medecin renomme et ami du roi Charles II d'Angleterre, n'est desormais plus un jeune homme en age de batifoler a sa guise. Desespere a cette idee, il se rend en France pour tenter de se faire une place a la cour du Roi-Soleil.Mais Versailles - aux decors si brillants et aux realites parfois si sordides - n'est qu'un monde d'illusions. Heureusement, la rencontre fortuite avec Madame de Flamanville, une botaniste experimentee va l'entrainer sur les sentiers de l'amour erotique. Dechire entre le bonheur des plaisirs retrouves et le desir de donner un sens a sa vie, Merivel se lance dans les sciences et notamment dans l'etude originale de l'ame des animaux, s'il s'efforce d'etre assidu, il se laisse souvent aller a la paresse et au rire. Car Merivel reste avant tout un epicurien, qui peut concevoir la vie sans amour ni sans joie."Traduit de l'anglais par Edith Soonckindt"". …

Author: Rose Tremain Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 352 Get ready to laugh, prepare to weep -- Robert Merivel is back in Rose Tremain's magical sequel to Restoration. Robert Merivel, courtier to Charles II is no longer a young man -- but off he goes to France in search of the Sun King and to Switzerland in pursuit of a handsome woman. Versailles -- all glitter in front and squalor behind -- is a fiasco- Merivel is forced to share an attic (and a chamber pot) with a Dutch clock-maker while attempting to sustain himself on peas and jam and water from the fountains. Switzerland, by contrast, is perhaps a little too comfortable. But the lady, a clever botanist, leads Merivel deliciously on -- until her jealous husband bursts in with duelling pistols.As he narrates the picaresque journey, Merivel gets into all sorts of scrapes; he is torn between enjoying himself and making something of his life, through medicine and the study of science. He tries to be diligent, but constantly backslides into laugher and laziness. A big-hearted rogue who loves his daughter, his country house and the English King . Merivel is Everyman -- and he speaks directly to us down the centuries. Secondhand, Paperback.…
