Published in 1963 this installment focuses on the 17th century particularly the reign of Louis XIV of France 1643–1715 often referred to as the "Sun King." The Durants explore the political cultural and intellectual developments of this era which is considered a pinnacle of European absolutism and a golden age of French art literature and science.<P>The book examines Louis XIV's centralization of power his lavish court at Versailles and his influence on European politics. It also delves into the broader European context including the Thirty Years' War the rise of scientific thought with figures like Newton and Leibniz and the flourishing of the arts with luminaries such as Molière Racine and Lully. The Durants' narrative combines historical analysis with philosophical reflection offering a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a transformative period in Western history. </p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.
