France under Louis XV - Vol. I

"France under Louis XV – Vol. I" by James Breck Perkins is a richly detailed and elegantly written exploration of France during a time of subtle decay and glittering charm. Through the lens of diplomacy, monarchy, and society, Perkins examines the political intrigues, court life, and shifting public sentiment that marked the reign of Louis XV. It’s history as narrative—accessible, engaging, and full of insight into the forces that quietly shaped the path toward revolution. For readers of Enlightenment Europe and lovers of complex kings.
"France under Louis XV - Vol. I" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1897.
