About This Item
UK: Wayland Publishers. Very Good/Very Good. 1975. First Edition. Hard Cover. Square 8vo 0853403902 Dust jacket nicked to top of spine. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 96pp. Illustrated. Clean and tight. In the series "Wayland Kings and Queens". From dj flap "When King Louis XIV died in 1715, he had reigned for 72 years. He had dominated European history for most of that time. The Sun King is remembered as the builder of the magnificent palace at Versailles, and as a man who plunged Europe into repeated wars in his quest for personal glory. A courtier wrote of 'this kingdom whose one great pleasure is to behold its master, ' and Louis never questioned that view. Christopher Martin gives a fascinating impression of the life of a king who was all-powerful, but who was cut off by his rank from contact with the real world." .
