Sfârşitul lui Pardaillan

Les Pardaillan #9

by Michel Zévaco

Paris, 1614. Louis XIII n'est qu'un jeune garçon de quatorze ans. La reine mère Marie de Médicis est régente et les Concini abusent de sa faiblesse pour usurper le pouvoir et piller le trésor royal. Paris gronde. C'est dans ce contexte que le chevalier de Pardaillan est venu aider son fils pour retrouver sa petite-fille, née il y a cinq ans et enlevée quelques mois après à ses parents, Jehan de Pardaillaàn et Bertille de Saugis, probablement sur l'ordre de Fausta dont la vengeance s'est ainsi exercée sur son ancien adversaire. Au cours de leurs recherches, les Pardaillan sont aidés d'un jeune cousin, Odet de Valvert, que le chevalier aime comme son fils. Lorsque Jehan est rappelé auprès de sa femme malade, c'est Odet qui devient le meilleur auxiliaire de Pardaillan. Or, Odet est passionnément épris d'une jeune fille pauvre, Brin de Muguet, en réalité fille naturelle de Concini et de Marie de Médicis, reine de France.

About the author

Michel Zevaco (also written as Zévaco) was a French journalist, novelist, publisher, film director, and anti-clerical as well as anarchist activist.

Michel Zevaco founded the anarchist weekly magazine Gueux (French, Beggars) on March 27, 1892. A month later he was jailed for 6 months and fined for praising Pini and Ravachol. Afterwards he wrote for Sébastien Faure's journal, Libertaire, as well as for the anarchist newspaper La Renaissance. In 1898, he edited l'Anticlérical, for the Anticlerical League of France and was involved in supporting Alfred Dreyfus during the eponymous Dreyfus Affair.

Zevaco's famous cloak and dagger novels Les Pardaillan, began to be serialized in the daily newspapers in 1900 to great popular success. Yet he is today quite unknown, in spite of the new interest aroused by popular literature.

A former school teacher, then an officer, he became a militant journalist, who wrote for various revolutionary newspapers, of anarchist tendency. He became famous mainly for the part he played in the anti-clerical struggles at the end of the 19th century. Then, as a writer of serial novels, he published works which had a great success in Jean Jaurès' daily La Petite République, and he became appointed serial writer for Le Matin from 1906 to his death.

His already well-established popularity was made even greater by his promising beginnings as a film-director in 1917. His novels first published by Fayard and Tallandier were republished several times and adapted for the screen; the latest paperback edition only gives a mutilated version, and is impaired by many cuts.

He is remembered as the author of Les Pardaillan, Le Capitan, Borgia, Buridan, L'Héroïne, l'Hôtel Saint Pol and Nostradamus, his most famous historical novels, but also published novels related to his times. Some of his serials have not yet been published

[Caterina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kurgu serinin bir önceki kitabında da değişmedi. Artık aşağı yukarı neler olacağını bilerek ilerlemenin getirdiği bir bezginlikle bitirdim. umudum son kitapta süprizler görmek.

Pardaillan ve Fausta arasındaki mücadele nasıl bitecek göreceğiz.

[Cantigone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bir destanın sonu… Bir ayda tamamlandı seri. Çok sevdim Şövalye de Pardaillan’ı, Fausta’yı, Valvert’i, Catherine de Medicis’i… Dünyanın en büyük aşk, kahramanlık, mücadele ve yiğitlik romanı…

[Cristina Pana · Rating 2 out of 5]

Un volum de umplutura...
A devenit un serial lung si plictisitor...
Si nu, nu este sfarsitul lui Pardaillan.
