From the Memoirs of a Minister of France Summary
| Foreseeing that some who do not love me will be swift to allege that in the preparation of these memoirs I have set down only such things as redound to my credit, and have suppressed the many experiences not so propitious which fall to the lot of the most sagacious while in power, I take this opportunity of refuting that calumny. For the truth stands so far the other way that my respect for the King’s person has led me to omit many things creditable to me; and some, it may be, that place me in a higher light than any I have set down. And not only that: but I propose in this very place to narrate the curious details of an adventure wherein I showed to less advantage than usual; and on which I should, were I moved by the petty feelings imputed to me by malice, be absolutely silent. |

| A marvellous collection of twelve short stories set in the backdrop of Henry IV’s reign. These historical romances chronicle the various thrilling experiences of Duc de Sully, Henry’s Prime Minister. A masterpiece of the swashbuckling genre, the book brilliantly captures the true spirit of the sixteenth century life. |
