The life of Henry IV, the king who established the Bourbon dynasty in the court of France, is one of the most decisive and exemplary in European history and one of the most lucid and equitable politicians of all time. Formed in an environment of Huguenot extremism, he soon understood the political value of tolerance and moderation, and with these weapons he obtained important triumphs in an era marked by palace intrigues and diplomatic turbulence. A great novel that helps to understand the Europe of our days. Heinrich Mann (Lübeck, 1871-Santa Mónica, 1952) lived in Berlin, Florence and Munich, before settling in the United States fleeing Nazism. After an initial stage characterized by aestheticism, his work becomes a harsh critique of militarism and nationalism. The two great novels that culminate this second stage are "The Youth of Henry IV" and "The Maturity of Henry IV", both published in Spain by Edhasa.
Luiz Heinrich Mann, best known as simply Heinrich Mann, was a German writer known for his sociopolitical novels. From 1930 until 1933, he was president of the fine poetry division of the Prussian Academy of Arts. His fierce criticism of the growing Fascism and Nazism forced him to flee Germany after the Nazis came to power during 1933. He was the elder brother of writer Thomas Mann.
