Dessert excellent biography of Daniel. The author describes perfectly the growing power and influence, a first protected lord of Mazarin, but became too ostentatious for the young Louis XIV became full-king. The book also shows the ambition of Colbert without scruples, who sees a rival Fouquet, who falsely hurl him into disgrace. But the other thing about the book, and the real story of course, is that to a great last part D.dessert narrates the imprisonment of Fouquet in Pinerolo, dumassienne prison if any, where the former Finance Superintendent shared his fate with an inmate remained legendary, flanked by an iron mask. A documented work, demanding, amid machinations and mysteries!
