About This Book
1640 : un procès de sorcellerie. Un bûcher. Un complot. Louis XIII défaillant d'amour, de culpabilité et de haine devant son jeune et gracieux favori. Richelieu remontant le Rhône dans un bateau tapissé de velours cramoisi qui traîne derrière lui l'embarcation où Cinq-Mars et de Thou enchaînés sont conduits au supplice : leur mort signifiera la fin de la vieille noblesse écrasée par le pouvoir et la raison d'État. Dans la foulée de Walter Scott et en attendant Dumas, Cinq-Mars est le premier en date, le plus dramatique et sans doute le plus réussi des romans historiques français.
