MICHEL ZÉVACO ZEVACO
NOSTRADAMUS
TULLIO PIRONTI 2002 681 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO FRONTE RETRO IN COPERTINA, PER IL RESTO OTTIMO. Michel Zévaco (Ajaccio, 1º febbraio 1860, Eaubonne, 8 agosto 1918) è stato un romanziere, insegnante, giornalista, editore e attivista anarchico francese. Degno successore di Alexandre Dumas, Michel Zévaco, popolarissimo autore di feuilletons a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, ci offre con Nostradamus, il primo romanzo del ciclo da lui dedicato alla figura del celebre autore delle profetiche Centurie. L'Autore dipinge il ritratto, cupo e sanguinoso, della Francia di Caterina de' Medici, delle guerre di religione, della caccia alle streghe. In un susseguirsi di duelli, agguati notturni, rapimenti, magie, evocazione di morti, prende corpo la trama della ventennale vendetta, con cui l'ormai anziano Nostradamus vuol punire coloro che gli hanno rovinato la giovinezza e sottratto Marie, la giovane sposa: re Enrico II di Valois, e i suoi infidi amici, Roncherolles e Saint-André. Recentemente ristampato in Francia dalla casa editrice Laffont, il romanzo ha riscosso un enorme successo. Soggetti: Romanzi storici, Fantasy, Letteratura francese, Ottocento, Classici, Eroi, Narrativa moderna e contemporanea (dopo il 1945), Streghe, Avventura, Magia, Previsioni, Futurologia, Futuro, Destino, Catastrofi, Racconti popolari, Intrighi, Duelli, Guasconate, Miguel de Zevaco, El hijo de Nostradamus, Gerfaut de Croixmart, Fran ois Ier, Romans populaires, écrivain français, Romanticismo, Cappa e spada, Cavalieri, Mantelli e spade, Pardaillan, Cape et d'épée, Suite romanesque, Cycle romanesque, Personnages romanesques, Cicli storici, Spagna, Francia, Filippo II, Roman-feuilleton, Le Matin, Fayard, Le Livre populaire, Romancier français du XXe siècle, Roman d'aventures, Affare Dreyfus, Romanzo d'appendice, Le Capitan, Borgia, Buridan, L'Héroïne, L'Hôtel Saint Pol, Parigi, Il Ponte dei sospiri, La marchesa di Pompadour, XX secolo, Ignazio di Loyola, Gesuiti, Carlo V, Caterina, Brabante, Enrico II, Re, Famiglie reali, Guerre, Battaglie, Corti, Regina, Cloak and dagger novels, Intrigue, Secrecy, Espionage, Mystery, Alexandre Dumas, Libri Vintage, Fuori catalogo, Magie, Morti, Evocazioni, Spiriti, Roncherolles, Valois, Cinquecento, Saint-André, Rapimenti, Vendette, Michel de Nostredame, Astrologia, Profezie, Medici, Montpellier, Montgomery, Myrtha, Montecuculi, Delfino, Marie, Chiaroveggenza, A posteriori, Beaurevers, Bouracan, Brabant, Trinquemaille, Renaud, Historical Novels, French Literature, Nineteenth Century, Classics, Heroes, Modern and Contemporary Fiction (after 1945), Witches, Adventure, Magic, Predictions, Futurology, Future, Destiny, Catastrophes, Popular Tales, Intrigues, Duels, Guasconades, Romance, Hood and sword, Knights, Cloaks and swords, Historical cycles, Spain, France, Philip II, Appendix novel, Paris, The Bridge of Sighs, The Marquise of Pompadour, 20th century, Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuits, Charles V, Catherine, Brabant, Henry II, Kings, Royal families, Wars, Battles, Courts, Queen, Books Out of print, Spells, Deaths, Evocations, Spirits, Saint-André, Abductions, Revenge, Astrology, Prophecies, Clairvoyance, Guaritori, Matrimonio, Caccia, Dame, Patibolo, Tornei, Figlio, Esecuzioni, Healers, Marriage, Hunting, Dames, Gallows, Tournaments, Son, Executions
