Sua Eminenza Rossa: Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu

by Laurel A. Rockefeller, Traduzione a cura di Laura Lucardini (Translator)

From the author of the best-selling “Legendary Women of World History” series ...

The cardinal you never met in Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers."

Cardinal Armand-Jean du Plessis, duc de Richelieu is one of the most famous -- or infamous politicians of all time. Made a villain in the popular Dumas novel, the real man was a dedicated public servant loyal to king and country. A man of logic and reason, he transformed how we think about nations and nationality. He secularized wars between countries, patronized the arts for the sake of the public good, founded the first newspaper in France, and created France as the modern country we know today.

Includes eight period songs, plus prayers, a detailed timeline, and extensive bibliography so you can keep learning about
this fascinating statesman.
