«La caída de los cuerpos» is the historical fiction novel by Maurice Druon, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
In this installment of the trilogy, Druon portrays French society between the wars: the fall of the Schoudler and La Monnerie clans. The ruin of banker Noël Schoudler is linked to the speculative greed before the 1929 crash; the blind elderly Urbain de La Monnerie embodies the aristocratic twilight, and the social climber Simon Lachaume rises.
Second installment of the trilogy «Las grandes familias»; original title: «La chute des corps». Translation by Amparo Albajar; work originally published in 1948.
For readers of historical and social fiction interested in high society and politics in interwar France.
Maurice Druon was a French novelist and a member of the Académie Française, of which he served as "Perpetual Secretary" (chairman) between 1985 and 1999.
