Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Perigord of sixteenth-century France is a wild region on the edge of the reaches of royal authority-its steep, forested valleys roamed by bands of brigands and gypsies, its communities divided by conflict between Catholics and converts to the new Protestant faith, the Huguenots. To this beautiful but dangerous country come two veterans of the French king's wars, Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre, The Brethren-as fiercely loyal to the crown as they are to their Huguenot religion. They make their home in the formidable chateau of Mespech, and the community they found prospers, but they are far from secure-religious civil war looms on the horizon, famine and plague stalk the land, and The Brethren must use all their wits to protect those they love from the chaos that threatens to sweep them away. The Brethren is the first volume in the epic historical drama Fortunes of France-a lusty, exhilarating blend of adventure and romance set against the backdrop of a critical period in European history.'Swashbuckling historical fiction. For all its philosophical depth [The Brethren] is a hugely entertaining romp. The comparisons with Dumas seem both natural and deserved and the next 12 instalments [are] a thrilling prospect' Christobel Kent, Guardian'A vivid novel by France's modern Dumas. [there is] plenty of evidence in the rich characterisation and vivid historical detail that a reader's long-term commitment will be amply rewarded' Sunday Times'The mainstay of the novel is swashbuckling action. What stands out is Merle's eye for detail' Spectator 'We're swept away by triumph, tragedy, action and adventure. It's a novel like this that makes reviewing one of the best jobs in the world.' Bookbag, Five Star Review 'Cleverly depicts France's epic religious wars through the intimate prism of one family's experience. It's beautifully written too. Metro.'Historical fiction at its very best. This fast paced and heady brew is colourfully leavened with love and sex and a great deal of humour and wit. The second instalment cannot be published too soon' We Love This Book'This is old-fashioned story-telling. It has swagger and, vibrancy with big characters. A gripping story with humour and strength and real attention to historical detail" Mature TimesThis enjoyable story has some of the wit of George MacDonald Fraser's 'Flashman'. Alexandre Dumas comes to mind too. [the remaining volumes] of this moving panorama are eagerly awaited'The Tablet'A lively adventures anyone keen on historical fiction [should] look forward to the next instalment' Telegraph'A master of the historical novel' Guardian 'The spectacular 13-volume evocation of 16th-17th-century France' Independent 'Merle's novel offers a sympathetic and highly imaginative view of a fraught time in French history. filled with originality, humanity, and insight'New Welsh Review'The Brethren very quickly wins one over' Glasgow Herald'The Dumas of the twentieth century' Neues Deutschland'A wonderful, colourful, breathlessly narrated historical panorama' Zeitpunkt'Robert Merle is one of the very few French writers who has attained both popular success and the admiration of critics. The doyen of our novelists is a happy man' Le Figaro Robert Merle (1908-2004) was born in French Algeria, before moving to mainland France in 1918. Originally an English teacher, Merle served as an interpreter with British Expeditionary Force during the Second World War, and was captured by the German army at Dunkirk, the experience of which served as the basis for his Goncourt-prize-winning Weekend at Zuydocoote. He published the 13 volumes of his hugely popular Fortunes of France series over four decades, from 1977 to 2003, the final volume appearing just a year before his death of a heart attack in 2004. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This is a true UK first edition / first printing of a very scarce book. The author has been called 'the Alexandre Dumas of the 20th century'. First published in France in 1977, this paperback original is the first time it was translated into English. It's a powerful novel about two war veterans who set up a peaceful community amidst the chaos and religous uprising happening elsewhere in France. There is a tiny scuff on the bottom of the spine. Otherwise, a great copy.
