Title : The King Said I Was the Devil - Clara Dupont-Monod - book
Summary :
Since the 12th century, Eleanor of Aquitaine has had her legend. She has been described as free, a witch, a conqueror: "the king said I was the devil," according to the Bishop of Tournai. Clara Dupont-Monod takes up this mythical figure and invents her first years as Queen of France alongside Louis VII. From the royal wedding to the Second Crusade, from the song of the troubadours to the clash of arms, a luminous Middle Ages emerges, preparing for its transformation, and the reconstitution of an impossible love.
An Eleanor who is by turns ambitious and sensitive, fragile and determined, cruel and delicate. An exceptional destiny, a flamboyant novel. Marie Rogatien, Le Figaro magazine .
A unique portrait of a woman, both a mythological goddess and an avant-garde creature. Claire Julliard, Le Nouvel Observateur .
Through this disturbing polyphonic novel, the writer presents Aliénor as an impregnable fortress, arousing both love and fear. Benoît Legemble, Marianne .
