«Luis el bienamado» is the historical novel by Jean Plaidy, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (343 pages, in Spanish).
In eighteenth-century France, the people expect Louis XV, upon reaching the age of majority, to restore glory and prosperity to the country. But the young king prefers hunting, gambling and the excitements of war to governing. Soon, the court becomes a stage of ambitions and intrigues, and the influence of his mistresses, such as Madame de Mailley and her sister Madame Vintimille, will mark the early years of his reign.
First installment of Jean Plaidy's «French Revolution» series; the work was originally published as «Louis the Well Beloved» in 1959 and this edition includes a translation by Miguel Martínez Lage.
For fans of historical fiction and the intrigues of the French court during the reign of Louis XV.
