La Gloire et les Périls es el undécimo tomo de la saga 'Fortune de France' escrita por Robert Merle. En esta entrega, el autor nos sumerge en los acontecimientos que rodean la toma de La Rochelle en 1628 por Luis XIII y Richelieu, un evento crucial en la historia de Francia que marcó el fin de los enfrentamientos entre católicos y hugonotes, consolidando el poder de la monarquía. A través de la mirada del conde d'Orbieu, Pierre de Siorac, somos testigos de este asedio que duró un año, donde la construcción de una gigantesca digue jugó un papel determinante.
Merle Robert Travis was an American country and western singer, songwriter, actor, and guitarist. Born in Rosewood, Kentucky, his songs' lyrics were often about the lives and the economic exploitation of American coal miners. Among his many well-known songs and recordings are "Sixteen Tons", "Re-Enlistment Blues", "I Am a Pilgrim", and "Dark as a Dungeon". He is best known today, though, for his unique guitar style, still called Travis picking by guitarists, as well as his interpretations of the rich musical traditions of his native Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Travis picking is a syncopated style of guitar fingerpicking rooted in ragtime music in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb, while melodies are plucked by the index finger. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1977.
