Title : Louis XIV Volume 2 - The Winter of the Great King - Max Gallo - book

Summary :

This winter of 1683 seems to mark the twilight of a unique reign. The ailing king wages a courageous struggle. For Louis the Great never capitulates. All of Europe resounds with the sound of his victories.
As death takes his advisors and family members, the king must dictate the pace of life at court... A comedy that this anxious, aging man struggles to play. Until the end, Louis governs, deciding the fate of France as well as his own salvation.

"The storyteller's talent is expressed in the lively rhythm with its bursts and emotions. A successful historical narrative, somewhere between the controlled lyricism of a Michelet and the bubbling verve of a Dumas.
