German writer Heinrich Mann's dilogy about the French king Henry IV is deservedly considered a masterpiece of historical prose, comparable to the best novels by Alexandre Dumas and Henryk Sienkiewicz. Time and place of action: Europe, the sixteenth century, one of the bloodiest and darkest: civil wars, religious fanaticism, Bartholomew's Night, deadly struggle for power... Europe needed a ruler who could not only extinguish the flames of war, establishing the long-awaited peace, but also change the entire course of history, pushing peoples into the bottomless abyss of death. Such a ruler was King Henry IV of the Bourbon dynasty. Many writers have addressed the life of this great monarch, from Voltaire to Alexandre Dumas, but it is Henry Mann who has written the most fascinating, historically accurate and detailed biography of one of the most popular kings of France.
This edition includes the first part of the Henry IV dilogy, which tells of the maturation and spiritual development of the future monarch, of the adventures and dangers he was destined to go through on his way to the throne.
