About the author

Michel Zévaco

539 books151 followers
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

Şövalye Pardayan'ın maceraları devam ediyor. Seride sona yaklaşırken Pardayan'ın yolu Yiğit Jehan ile kesişiyor. Concinilerin entrikaları, Fausta'nın milyonlarının peşindeki cizvitler ve Kral sayesinde Şövalye ve Yiğit Jehan maceradan maceraya koşuyor.

Keyifli, akıcı ve eğleceli seride sonran iki önceki kitap da bitti. Okusanız seversiniz bence.

Serinin bu cildi, Fransa tahtı etrafında dönen siyasi entrikaların ve aristokrasi içindeki hizip çatışmalarının toplumsal maliyetini nesnel bir kurguyla aktarır. Pardaillan karakteri, yozlaşmış kilise ve feodal kalıntıların oluşturduğu gerici ittifaklara karşı birey aklının ve özgürlük arayışının direnişini temsil etmeyi sürdürür. Olay örgüsü boyunca güç zehirlenmesi yaşayan soyluların ve makyavelist din adamlarının devlet aygıtını nasıl kendi kişisel mülkleri gibi kullandıkları çıplakça sergilenir. Zevaco, kahramanlık mitlerinin ardındaki o acımasız çıkar savaşlarını göstererek, feodalizmden mutlak monarşiye geçiş döneminin siyasal anatomisini edebi bir formda sunar. Bireyin mutlak otoriteye boyun eğmeyişini işleyen roman, sınıflı toplumların şafağında filizlenen modern itiraz kültürünün tarihsel köklerini popüler bir dille kitlelere ulaştırır.
