Written at the beginning of the 20th Century, the tale is of one knight-errand, "the last true chevalier of the Middle Ages" - Jean de Padaillan.
The story is set between 1553 - 1614 in France (with an occasional visit to a foreign country), making Dumas' D'Artagnan Romances a perfect continuation, both from a temporal and spatial viewpoint.
Never have I felt such an admiration and love for a fictional character than for Pardaillan, who is the absolute model of manhood, bravery and elegance.
Introducing a female descendant of the Borgias - rich, powerful, dangerous...
Don't let its lack of popularity fool you - it is an amazing read. Hoping that it will shortly be translated into English.
So, anyone read it?
