«El jardinero del Rey» is the historical novel by Frédéric Richaud, published in 2015 by Duomo Ediciones in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Versailles in the 17th century, it follows Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, royal gardener who cultivates the gardens and feeds the court of Louis XIV. The past, exile and silence of La Quintinie make him an enigma for a court that admires and envies him, in a life marked by the seasons.
The translation from French is by José Ramón Monreal Salvador. The work belongs to the Nefelibata collection.
La Stampa described the book as «la novela de culto para las nuevas generaciones de ecologistas».
