Siege of Montauban
9.99 €
The fierce winter of 1621. The French King Louis XIII, warm and cozy, is laying siege to the fortress city of Montauban, one of the main strongholds of the Huguenots. The fortress does not surrender. The King is nervous. His favorite, the Constable de Luynes, is even more nervous and is slowly losing authority. But his rival, the thirty-year-old strategist and diplomat Bishop of Luçon, is gaining authority. He acts on the principle of "not by force, then by cunning" and will soon go down in history under the formidable name of Cardinal Richelieu. The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" includes the cloak and sword novel "The Siege of Montauban". Its author, the French writer Jules Cauvin, a worthy heir to the traditions of Shakespeare, Hugo and Dumas, created a gripping story of a game with the throne between the king's brother, trying to move the key figures, and the king's minister - the master of the chessboard.
