«Louis XIV, Le Roi-Soleil (Tome I)» is the historical biography by Max Gallo, published by Le Grand Livre du Mois in paperback (394 pages, in French).
The narrative begins on May 14, 1643, when Louis XIV, aged five, is proclaimed king of France. Between the Fronde and his education, Gallo portrays an inflexible monarch, convinced that the king must embody power, and reveals his private side: a seducer, lover of dance and the arts, marked by the solitude of power.
Published in 2007, it is the first volume of the biography Max Gallo devoted to Louis XIV and covers from his proclamation to the height of his reign.
For readers interested in the history of France, the court of Versailles and absolute monarchy.
