En 'Por capricho de Dios', Jean d'Ormesson narra la historia de una vieja familia francesa, los Plessis-Lez-Vaudreuil, desde las cruzadas hasta la actualidad. A través de la memoria del narrador, el último en conocer una forma de vida condenada, se exploran los cambios y la decadencia de esta familia a lo largo del siglo XX. La novela, impregnada de nostalgia y melancolía, ofrece una galería de retratos y croquis que capturan la emoción y la ironía de un mundo en transformación.
Jean Bruno Wladimir François-de-Paule Lefèvre d'Ormesson was a French writer and novelist. He authored forty books, was the director of Le Figaro from 1974 to 1977, as well as the dean of the Académie Française, to which he was elected in 1973, until his death, in addition to his service as president of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences within UNESCO (1992–1997). A major public figure in France, known for his art de la conversation, Jean d'Ormesson was saluted as "the best of the French spirit" by President Emmanuel Macron upon his death.
