The reign of Athenais de Montespan as maitresse en titre to Louis XIV corresponds with the most glorious period of the grand siecle. Athenais was 'the true Queen of France', the symbol of the apotheosis of French culture in the seventeenth century. As a lover, she risked the disgrace of double adultery to conduct an affair which scandalised Europe; as a patron, she supported many of the leaders of a cultural renaissance; as a mother, she is the ancestor of most of the royal houses of Europe. Lisa Hilton's superb new biography chronicles the life of this most extraordinary of historical figures. Few women can have been loved so publicly and as flamboyantly as Athenais, and fewer still so indulged. If her faults were caprice, extravagance and temper, her taste enabled her to convert them into a prescient originality which did much to create the court that dazzled the world. Bringing her subject to life, Lisa Hilton tells the compelling story of the influential woman behind the seventeenth century's most influential man.

Frightened, to maintain, that what is saint in this ethereal relationship, doesnt let for confrontation the artist with the mafia world, which physically ruled over her body and life. Lives as in dream . . . gifted by lover and patron study at Oxford, which were her the greatest dream, simultaneously sunk all body in material structure of organized criminality; works as escort agent, or to come down to concrete facts, as defenseless mafia boss caprice. Kidnapped in a moment of poetic triumph, pressed to sever all relations with beloved and to devotion for upside down, sect-like pray in Siberian emptiness. Here, in reality, confronts her vision of spiritual existence with mystic abortive life and closing in monastery cell. Here also discovering arcana of perverse love, which will lead her to death . . . coming then, following steps of Juliet Capulet. Novel this doesnt aspire for right to answers in metaphysical questions. Isnt neither in favor for mystic worldview, or against it. Isnt neither in favor for lesbian love or is its enemy. It is invitation to conversation over modern problems. Controversial try, to establish place human being of twenty-first century on the earth. His possible perspectives, aims, hopes, his ideas of happiness and beauty.

The resplendent sex symbol of the splendid century'... The reign of Athenais de Montespan as principal mistress of Louis XIV corresponds with the most glorious period of the Grand Siecle. Athenais was 'the true Queen of France', symbol of a dazzling French culture in the seventeenth century. As a lover, she risked the disgrace of double adultery to conduct an affair which scandalized Europe; as a patron she supported many of the leaders of the cultural renaissance including Moliere and Racine; as a mother she is the ancestor of most of the royal houses of Europe. The greatest beauty of her day, Athenais lived her life publicly and sensationally until accusations of witchcraft forced her from power in the 'Affair of the Poisons', a mystery which remains unsolved. She fascinates not only because she achieved power at a time when it was denied to most women, but because she achieved that power through her manipulation of a prescribed role.
