Book Description
======
This volume of the Pulitzer Prizeûwinning series offers a comprehensive
view of European civilization during the long and powerful reign of
Louis XIV.
Will and Ariel Durant continue their magisterial history of the Western
world as France exerted an almost hypnotic dominance over the European
continent. Their expansive narrative begins at the end of the Thirty
Years War, a conflict which decimated the Holy Roman Empire and allowed
France to flourish. This was also the time when Louis XIV, at the age
of five, came to the throne.
Book One examines the French zenith from a number of perspectives: from
the politics at court to the kingÆs relationship to the church, the
arts, and literary greats such as Moliere and Racine. In Book Two, the
narrative moves to England, where Oliver Cromwell leads a revolt against
monarchy, and authors including John Milton and Jonathan Swift write
their immortal epics. With five books in all, the authors offer a sweeping
survey of the era, from Peter the GreatÆs Russia to the advances in
science and medicine, Isaac NewtonÆs revolutionary ideas, and the great
philosophical debate between faith and reason.
