Descriptionof Ludwig XIV. König im großen Welttheater
Manufacturer

This biography aims to look behind the scenes of the life of Louis XIV of France, a monarch with whom so many clichés are associated, and to give an impression of "real" life behind the red velvet curtain. This book is explicitly not only aimed at specialist historians, but also brings the historically interested layman closer to a very distant and foreign era. In doing so, the book breaks with the traditional chronological presentation of a life, beginning with birth and ending with death.

Instead, we look at the "Sun King" from different perspectives - beginning with his person, secondly with a view of his contemporaries, subjects, monarchy and Ludwig's government, thirdly with Ludwig and Europe. Interspersed are "miniatures" in which key events of his life are discussed at close quarters. Like hardly any other monarch before him in Europe, Louis XIV placed art at the service of the monarchy. In the person of Louis, the reader therefore also encounters an 'artist', and indeed an 'actor', who played the role of king throughout his life, as an actor on the stage of the world and of life.
