On connaît l'affaire des Poisons et la fronde des princes sous la régence d'Anne d'Autriche. Mais que sait-on de l'étrange affaire Buvard qui priva, durant de longues années, le Roi-Soleil de son pouvoir absolu ? Louis Dieudonné a fait la connaissance de la ravissante Louyse Buvard, maîtresse du sieur Nicolas Gabriel de la Reynie, lieutenant général de police, au cours d'un dîner donné par la duchesse de Nemours dans son château de Louveciennes. Ébloui par la beauté de la jeune femme et par le bleu de ses yeux qui, dit-on, fait pâlir le ciel, Sa Majesté l'introduit à la cour et l'élève au rang de marquise, au grand dam des princes du sang et de la noblesse. Douée d'une vive intelligence et d'une ambition sans limite, la jeune marquise manipule le roi et règne sans partage sur le royaume de France, sous l'oeil impuissant de Louivois ministre de la Guerre et de Colbert, surintendant des finances. "Elle règne mieux que le roi" dira Sa Majesté à ses ministres qui s'émeuvent du pouvoir exorbitant de la marquise. "L'ombre du Soie-Soleil" est une fiction qui se lit comme une page de l'Histoire de France oubliée des historiens, quand le Roi-Soleil n'était que l'ombre de lui-même.

The career of the French saint Vincent de Paul has attracted the attention of hundreds of authors since his death in 1660, but the fate of his legacy - entrusted to the body of priests called the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists) - remains vastly neglected. De Paul spent a lifetime working for the reform of the clergy and the evangelization of the rural poor. After his death, his ethos was universally lauded as one of the most important elements in the regeneration of the French church, but what happened to this ethos after he died? This book provides a thorough examination of the major activities of de Paul’s immediate followers. It begins by analysing the unique model of religious life designed by de Paul - a model created in contradistinction to more worldly clerical institutes, above all the Society of Jesus. Before he died, de Paul made very clear that fidelity to this model demanded that his disciples avoid the corridors of power. However, this book follows the subsequent departures from this command to demonstrate that the Congregation became one of the most powerful orders in France. The book includes a study of the termination of the little-known Madagascar mission, which was closed in 1671. This mission, replete with colonial scandal and mismanagement, revealed the terrible pressures on de Paul’s followers in the decade after his demise. The end of the mission occasioned the first major reassessment of the Congregation’s goals as a missionary institute, and involved abandoning some of the goals the founder had nourished. The rest of the book reveals how the Lazarists recovered from the setbacks of Madagascar, famously becoming parish priests of Louis XIV at Versailles in 1672. From then on, fealty to Louis XIV gradually trumped fidelity to de Paul. The book also investigates the darker side of the Congregation’s novel alliance with the monarch, by examining its treatment of Huguenot prisoners at Marseille later in the century, and its involvement with the slave trade in the Indian Ocean. This study is a wide-ranging investigation of the Lazarists’ activities in the French Empire, ultimately concluding that they eclipsed the Society of Jesus. Finally, it contributes new information to the literature on Louis XIV’s prickly relationship with religious agents that will surprise historians working in this area.

The personal rule of Louis XIV, following on from a long period of royal minority and apprenticeship, lasted 54 years from 1661 to 1715. But the second half of this personal rule has, until recently, received significantly less scholarly attention than the 1660s and 1670s. This has obscured some of the very real changes and developments that occurred between the early 1680s and the mid-1690s, by which time a new generation of younger royals had come to prominence, France was engulfed in international war on a greater scale than ever before, and the king was visibly no longer as vigorous or healthy as he had once been. The essays in this volume take a close look at the way a new set of political, social, cultural and economic dispensations emerged from the mid-1680s to create a different France in the final decades of Louis XIV’s reign, even though the basic ideological, social and economic underpinnings of the country remained very largely the same. The contributions examine such varied matters as the structure and practices of government, naval power, the financial operations of the state, trade and commerce, social pressures, overseas expansion, religious dissent, music, literature and the fine arts.

Winner of the Franco-British Society Book Prize 2019 'The ultimate biography of the Sun King' Simon Sebag Montefiore Louis XIV dominated his age. He extended France's frontiers into Netherlands and Germany, and established colonies overseas. The stupendous palace he built at Versailles became the envy of monarchs all over Europe. In his palaces, Louis encouraged dancing, hunting, music and gambling. He loved conversation, especially with women: the power of women in Louis's life and reign is a particular theme of this book. Louis was obsessed by the details of government but the cost of building palaces and waging continuous wars devastated the country's finances and helped set it on the path to revolution. Nevertheless, by his death, he had helped make his grandson king of Spain, where his descendants still reign, and France had taken essentially the shape it has today. King of the World is the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure in English. It draws on all the latest research to paint a convincing and compelling portrait of a man who, three hundred years after his death, still epitomises the idea of le grand monarque.

However shared the Roman inheritance may be, it hardly unifies. Which Rome is the model, the Republic or the Empire? The Rome of imperial conquest or of civil war? By whom is it ruled? By the glorious conqueror who extended universal peace, the rule of law, and infrastructure – roads and aqueducts – or by the detested tyrant who imposed domination? Or worse, the corruptor of republican liberty and source of putrefying decadence? Rome always returns, but which Rome? France presents itself as a privileged locus for Rome’s return since the beginnings of its history. The perennial recourse to ancient Rome – as model or anti-model – binds together a cohesive tradition. The logic of this gesture asserts a unity beyond modern identity politics, which depend on defining a “them” against “us,” to resist nativist assumptions about national character, French, German, Italian, American, etc. All share the same polysemous inheritance, for good or ill. All are Roman and all resist Rome without needing to agree on what exactly is shared. The unity underlying the discourse, however, no longer depends on defining Rome as an origin. Instead, Rome’s figuration persists discursively, as a translation: to be translated time and time again.

Que savons-nous de la Chine ? Comment cette connaissance nous est-elle parvenue ? Il est passionnant de découvrir le destin extraordinaire de Pierre Martial Cibot, un jésuite à la cour de l'empereur de Chine au XVIIIe siècle. Comme le souligne Jean-Pierre Raffarin dans la préface de ce livre "on a du mal à imaginer aujourd'hui des débats qui ont pu animer les sociétés européennes du XVIIe et du XVIIIe siècles, e n France et en Angleterre notamment, sur le régime politique chinois. Les partisans des Lumières comme Voltaire ou John Locke, opposaient les moeurs politiques et le pouvoir jugé excessif de leurs monarques, au gouvernement éclairé des Empereurs de Chine, avec une administration de mandarins bien formés et dévoués à l'intérêt général, qui tempéraient leur pouvoir en filtrant les décisions qu'ils devaient prendre". Découvrir ce que fit, en son temps, Pierre Martial Cibot, nous permet de mesurer l'écart de nos civilisations, mais aussi leurs ressemblances. Il est passionnant de lire son érudition, sa capacité à nous inciter à avoir l'esprit curieux envers la Chine. Nous sommes ainsi éblouis par ce que les jésuites ont su apporter tant à la Chine qu'à la France. Un savoir, une transmission dont il est plus que nécessaire aujourd'hui de faire revivre. Le travail de Laurent Cibot est ici fantastique, et l'on comprend sa volonté de retrouver les traces de son ancêtre.
