Remarkable! 90

After a century and a half of nonsense and gossip told the account of King Louis XV by "historians" in charge of writing the textbooks, and also flouted the "Compendium of the age of Louis XV" historian Voltaire and favorable to the reign of Louis XV, the historian Pierre Gaxotte rehabilitated the "Beloved" in a book entitled "The Century of Louis XV" published in 1933.

Then the historian Michel Antoine in 1989, made her look a real sum of Louis XV, around 1000 pages in which he had confirmed research by Pierre Gaxotte, continuing rehabilitation work of this king.

This is today, Jean-Christian Petitfils has already devoted three biographies to the Bourbons (Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XVI) the challenge to decipher the mysterious sovereign because timid and therefore unfortunately poor communicator. Overall the book confirms the above-mentioned writings, making us enjoy the incomparable literary style of the author. However, we dare say that the book can equal perhaps by its clarity and completeness the biography written by Michel Antoine.
