Rendition During Books Angelique and the King (Angélique - Version Originale #3)
At the end of book one, Angélique used a little blackmail to improve her lot in life and get herself a husband who can get her in the front door at Versailles. But.... there's a wee bit of a problem since husband #2 (who shall rename nameless so as not to spoil) wants nothing to do with his wife and he goes to great efforts to keep her shut up in Paris. Don't you worry, our intrepid heroine won't let a little thing like a mean-ass husband keep her away from Court and Louis XIV. No indeedy. And once she gets there, her beauteous charm and intelligence catches the King's eye, but there's this little problem of his other mistresses, one in particular who isn't about to give up without a fight - and a very nasty fight that turns out to be. Plus there's that hated husband still to be dealt with…I did like this, but the storyline went in directions I was not excepting, particularly that of husband #2. I suspect some of the more PC minded readers will send the book flying so don't say I didn't warn you. There's quite a big surprise at the ending, a surprise that turns Angélique's life upside down and on to new adventures, so I'd advise you have book three, Angélique in Barbary on hand and ready to start.

Una dintre cele mai frumoase serii citite în copilărie!Tetno díl pro mne byl zklamáním, očekávala jsem pohled na francouzskou historii od Angeliky a ne od historika - kronikáře. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsem četla knihu o životě Ludvíka XIV., musím říci, že je to zcela přesné. V Ludvíkově životě se také vyskytla postava Angeliika, která byla jeho milenkou, ale s touto fiktivní postavou nemám zcela nic společného. Navíc byla uvedena jako hloupá a nevyýznamná( vycházím z knihy o životě Ludvíka XIV. ).Většina knihy převyprávění historie s občasným doplněním
Angelique is wonderful in all of her adventures , this is just the beginning......
La Femme, sous tous ses feux : l'amoureuse, l'amante, la mère, dans la douleur, dans l'intelligence, dans la droiture. Voici encore un épisode d'Angélique qui, loin de la série TV de jadis, met en lumière ce qui fait de la femme ce qu'on lui connaît aujourd'hui, idem pour l'homme. C'est un rappel à l'histoire qui diffère des explications d'une société actuelle où l'on attribut tout à un présent sans mémoire. L'intrigue est bien sûr excellement bâtie : loin du calcul enserré et parfois trop mêlé
I read (and had) the whole series, in Portuguese. They were 14 volumes, and it was a thrilling historical fiction. On the Internet, I found a list of 13 books, but I'm quite positive that the ones I read in Portuguese were 14 volumes. Wish I still had it. I would like to read all over again!1957 - Angélique, The Marquise of the Angels (Angélique, Marquise des Anges)1958 - Angélique, the road to Versailles (Angélique, le Chemin de Versailles)1959 - Angélique and the King (Angélique et le Roy)1960
Continuing Angelique's adventures in the court of King Louis XIV.
