Rise and Fall of Versailles - The Palace of Pleasure, Louis XV

This title is an acquisition.

A tragedy in three acts: how a young king, popular with the people and receptive to the artistic and intellectual ferment of his times (the Age of Enlightenment) will end his reign in decline and hatred. The story of an enlightened monarch, fond of freedom, who cuts himself off from his subjects, as his libertine outlook leads to repression and corruption to impotence. Fifteen years after his death, the French Revolution breaks out.
