Madam Pompadur: Milosnica Luja XV

Edmond de Goncourt, Jules de Goncourt

This story of ambition, love and tragedy provides an insight into the complex world of the French court and leaves a strong impression with its emotional depth and literary virtuosity.

"Madame Pompadour" by the brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt is a novel depicting the life of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, known as Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of the French King Louis XV. Through vivid and detailed descriptions, the authors bring Versailles to life in the 18th century, pointing out the complexity of court intrigues and political intrigues.

Madame de Pompadour was not only the king's mistress but also an influential figure at the French court. Her intelligence, charm and political skill enabled her to become the confidante of the king and patron of art and literature. Through the novel, the authors explore its influence on culture and politics, but also the personal struggles and sufferings that accompanied its rise and fall.

The book relies on extensive research and authentic sources, which adds to its historical credibility. The writing style is elegant and picturesque, with an emphasis on the psychological depth of the characters and the atmosphere of the opulent Versailles. Through the fate of Madame de Pompadour, the authors criticize the moral decadence of the aristocracy and the ruthlessness of political power.
