In its translated version of the old French, this book is a pure reading pleasure. Philippe Commynes slipping away her memories slipping in multiple politico-educational considerations for future generations, which illuminates this period of history with the vision and contemporary thought patterns and helps to realize the why / how without much projecting our value system of 20 / 21th century. Some pieces also very funny in light of today, showing how the strengths and weaknesses of a nation can evolve over the centuries ... and best of all a look also at the years that followed to Kendall extend the reading of Louis XI and somehow to give him a perspective over time. Congratulations also to the translator. A book to read.
