Excerpt from France Under Richelieu and Colbert: Richelieu France
Books Ou history grow old rapidly, and few of them take a permanent place in literature. The story of the past has constantly to be rewritten in the light of fresh research, and quite as much in the light of fresh experiences and new ideas as to the develop ment Of society. The life of Lectures is even shorter than that of books. Their aim is usually to interest and to stimulate, and they depend largely for their value on the personality of the lecturer. They rarely deserve printing, and if printed they quickly disappear.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the reigns of Cardinal Richelieu, Louis XIII, Louis XV, and Louis XIV from 1610 to 1715. The author argues that the period was pivotal in the development of the French monarchy, transitioning from a Catholic feudal system to a nation-state based on industry and science. Progressive thinkers like Descartes, Kepler, and Galileo helped fuel a shift in focus from religious dogma to intellectualism. Richelieu's anti-aristocratic policies prepared the way for the French Revolution. Colbert attempted to stimulate industry, commerce, and the arts. The author argues that these early steps towards a modern society were partially abandoned under Louis XIV, leading to the monarchy's downfall in 1789. Nevertheless, this book asserts that the ideas fostered during this time were instrumental to Europe's future development and remain highly relevant today.
