The Mature Years of King Henry IV
6.99 €
The 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 of Alexander Dumas and Henryk Senkevich. Time and place: Europe, the sixteenth century, one of the bloodiest and darkest: civil wars, religious fanaticism, Bartholomew’s Night, a deadly struggle for power. Europe needed a ruler who could not only extinguish the flames of war, establishing a long-awaited peace, but also change the entire course of history, pushing peoples into the bottomless abyss of death. This 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 Heinrich Mann who owns the most fascinating, historically true and detailed biography of one of the most popular kings of France.

This edition includes the second part of the dilogy about Henry IV, from which the reader learns about the further fate of the king, about his desire to restore order in war-ravaged France, as well as about all sorts of palace intrigues and various love affairs of Henry IV, almost cost him his life.
