Release Details

Les Presses Universitaires de France et Fremeaux & Associes proposent cette biographie de Louis XV, analysee et expliquee par Jerome Helie, historien moderniste, specialiste des relations internationales de l'Europe moderne. Louis XV est un roi souvent meconnu des Francais, bien que son regne ait dure pres de la moitie du XVIIIe siecle. Son nom est principalement associe a un style de mobilier et a des scandales personnels, mais Louis XV est un personnage bien plus complexe don't les intentions et les pensees demeurent difficiles a dechiffrer en raison du manque de temoignages ecrits. Il hesita a gouverner, puis gouverna resolument, entraînant des reformes majeures qui marquent une rupture avec l'Ancien Regime et annoncent la France de la Revolution et de l'Empire. Bien qu'il ait souvent ete critique pour ses echecs militaires, notamment la perte de la plupart des possessions ultramarines au profit des Anglais, son regne coïncide egalement avec le developpement de l'economie coloniale. Jerome Helie nous offre ainsi un apercu fascinant de ce regne et du siecle des paradoxes qui l'accompagne. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX Presses Universitaires de France and Fremeaux & Associes present this biography of Louis XV, analyzed and explained by Jerome Helie, a modern history scholar specializing in international relations in early modern Europe.Louis XV is a king who remains relatively little known to the French, despite having reigned for nearly half of the eighteenth century. His name is primarily associated with a style of furniture and with personal scandals, but Louis XV was a far more complex figure, whose intentions and thoughts remain difficult to decipher due to the scarcity of written accounts.He was initially reluctant to govern, but later ruled with determination, introducing major reforms that marked a break with the Ancien Regime and foreshadowed the France of the Revolution and the Empire. Although he was often criticized for his military failures, particularly the loss of most of France's overseas possessions to the English, his reign also coincided with the development of the colonial economy. Jerome Helie thus offers us a fascinating insight into this reign and into the paradoxical century that accompanied it.Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUXCD1 : LES EXISTENCES MULTIPLES DE LOUIS XV - LA GUERRE DE SUCCESSION D'ESPAGNE EN HeRITAGE - ENFANCE ET SACRE DE LOUIS XV - LE MARIAGE CONTESTe AVEC MARIE LESZCZYN´SKA - VERSAILLES, LE LIEU DE LA VIE PRIVeE DU ROI - JANSeNISME ET AFFAIRES DE POLOGNE CD2 : LA CReATION DU SECRET DU ROI - LES TURPITUDES DE LA VIE PRIVeE DU ROI - MME DE POMPADOUR, POURVOYEUSE SEXUELLE DU ROI - LA BRILLANTE CULTURE FRANcAISE DU XVIIIE SIeCLE - LA GUERRE DE SEPT ANS - LA DeFAITE ET SES CONSeQUENCES CD3 : LE DUC DE CHOISEUL - LE BANNISSEMENT DES JeSUITES - L'AFFAIRE DE BRETAGNE - LA SCANDALEUSE ARRIVeE DE MME DU BARRY - LE COUP D'eTAT DU ROI - LOUIS XV ET SON SIeCLE.DIRECTION : OLIVIER COQUARD, PRODUCTION : CLAUDE COLOMBINI FReMEAUX POUR PUF-FReMEAUX
