Title : The Life of Mordecai by Lowenfels written by himself - Diane Meur - book

Summary :

Names are often a destiny: that of Mordecai, thus baptized according to the imprudent wish of one of his ancestors during the Third Crusade, will take him far from the family duchy. In the colorful account of his apprenticeships, we discover a 14th century very detached from the conventions of the historical genre. No doubt we see highway adventures, scenes of jubilation and political plots unfold there; no doubt we encounter, among other real or invented figures, Meister Eckhart, William of Ockham and Marsilius of Padua. But the author's casual fantasy always triumphs: the crooks are good fathers, the theologians atheists, the emperor's offspring republicans...

Diane Meur proves in any case, to our great pleasure, that erudition is not the enemy of breath or irony. Carole Vantroys, Read.
