Few women in history have inspired such contradictory reactions as Catherine de Medici. To her admirers, she was a brilliant stateswoman and a steadying force in an era of great religious conflict. To her enemies, she was something far darker: a scheming foreigner, an Italian serpent coiled at the heart of the French court. What almost everyone agreed on was that she was extraordinary.

Entre faits établis et traditions locales, il explore l’empreinte laissée par ces incursions à travers les régions et les siècles, et interroge leur place dans la mémoire historique.

Dans ce second et dernier volume, Maxime de La Rocheterie poursuit le portrait de Marie‑Antoinette, du faste contraignant aux heures d’épreuves, au cœur d’un royaume gagné par l’inquiétude. Avec la précision d’un historien du XIXe siècle, il suit la reine dans le passage de la faveur à la controverse, entre vie privée et affaires d’État, échos de la cour et clameurs de la rue.

Troisième volume du Journal des Goncourt (1866-1870), ces Mémoires de la vie littéraire saisissent, jour après jour, le pouls d’une époque. D’une table d’hôte au Havre où des capitaines de commerce jugent la « paix à tout prix » de Louis‑Philippe, aux rêveries d’une nuit au porto — arrivée en Angleterre avec Gavarni, maison aux décors qui changent — s’y mêlent notes vives, colères et délicates impressions. Regard acéré, style nerveux, humour et mélancolie: Edmond et Jules fixent l’instant, la conversation, le climat des idées.
