Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insider's account of the infamous Regency period that followed the death of Louis XIV, a time marked by debauchery, scandal, and a struggle for power. The author, a contemporary of the events, provides an up-close view of the key players, including the libertine Regent, Philippe d'Orlà ans, and his ambitious daughter, the Duchesse de Berri. The book delves into the political intrigues, conspiracies, and moral decay that characterized this era, illuminating the tumultuous transition between the absolutism of the Sun King and the Enlightenment. It explores the tension between tradition and modernity, as the old order crumbled and new ideas emerged, shaping the course of French history.
