Titre : Louisiane, Tome 4 : Les Trois-Chênes - Maurice Denuzière - Livre Résumé : 1920-1930. La Louisiane des années folles. Le pays des bayous est devenu, avec la prohibition, la terre d'élection des contrebandiers, fournisseurs d'Al Capone. La bohème de La Nouvelle-Orléans accueille William Faulkner, Sherwood Anderson et le peintre Pascin. On croise des héros modernes tels que le général Pershing, Lindbergh ; des Américains de Montparnasse, tel Ernest Hemingway. Les héros sont mêlés à des événements tels que l'affaire Sacco et Vanzetti, la conférence de la paix au Moyen-Orient, le procès du darwinisme, les tragiques inondations de 1927. A Bagatelle, Osmond de Vigors - arrière-petit-fils de Virginie, l'inoubliable dame de Bagatelle - s'efforce, porté par l'amour de Lorna - la petite-fille de Gustave, truculent descendant de mousquetaire - de maintenir, en digne Cavalier, les valeurs du Vieux Sud aristocratique, tandis que progressent l'avion, la radio, le disque, le cinéma, le confort et que se développent le racisme, la criminalité, la violence, les idéologies nouvelles. Après Louisiane (vingt-cinq traductions), Fausse-Rivière (trente-deux semaines en tête des meilleures ventes) et Bagatelle, qui a connu un succès comparable en faisant rêver des millions de lecteurs, les Trois-Chênes, roman historique salué par la critique, constitue le quatrième volet d'une suite romanesque dont chaque tome peut être lu indépendamment des précédents.
