Richelieu revisited
Watching a French / German TV documentary on Richelieu, really fascinating!
Politics was a game of chess in the 17th century, no ethical restrictions were taken into account as the noble target would justify any means...
How come that I have to think about Russia today?
Did the world really move on since then?

Travelling in China
My host complained about the Communist party, how much his family had suffered during the dark years of the Cultural Revolution.
I enter his car and see golden Mao statue on his dashboard.
"Isn't this a bit strange?" I ask,stunned, "you just complained about this period."
"That's different. My friend told me he has a Mao picture in his car. Since he put it into his car, he had no more accident. It works,I've had no more accident either!"
My recommendation for Russia: why not try Putin...

Queen Henrietta - Queen who?
Doing some background research on the period of Charles Ist and his queen consort - interesting subject - by coincidence ;) - they lived at the same time as Pierre, my French Orphan protagonist, and his friends.
Maybe I'll spin the story further when Pierre is some years older - let's see, there's enough drama for plenty of books to be written.
Queen Henrietta, the aloof 'fille de France' was amazingly blind to the tide that would finally carry her husband away,as was Charles himself.
I'd be grateful to receive recommendations for interesting literature on this period / subject.
cheers
