Jean de La Bruyère famously characterized Versailles as "that region where joys were visible but false, and vexations hidden but real." In this witty and scholarly book, Baron Arthur-Léon Imbert de Saint-Amand explores the solar system of the Sun King with its planets, the women of the court, now orbiting in warm proximity to the monarch, now hurtling away under his glacial disfavor. Here are his neglected queen, Maria Theresa, his imperious mistress, Madame de Montespan, his illegitimate daughters, and his final consort, the pious and influential, Madame de Maintenon.(Copyright Audiobooks アート 世界 文学史・文学批評 社会科学

    Tartuffe by Molière is a sharp and witty critique of religious hypocrisy and the folly of blind faith.

Its themes of deception, moral integrity, and the conflict between appearance and reality remain strikingly relevant today, reminding us of the importance of discernment in our beliefs and the influence of charlatans in society. This enduring classic invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of trust and the nature of authenticity in both personal and societal contexts.
