Richelieu

This short biography of the dreaded red eminence, by the Anglo-French writer and educator, Gustave Masson, combines French wit and English clarity. We see Richelieu as he really was, a gifted and relentless champion of the rising French state and a besotted author of terrible plays. This is a panoramic survey of France in the time of Louis XIII--her overweening aristocrats, her writers great and small, her grand ladies, and her terrible injustices, as when the hapless priest, Urbain Grandier, is sent to the stake for abetting the demonic possession of the nuns of Loudun. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
