描述
Warmonger, womanizer, and autocrat, Louis XIV may also have been history s most fanatical gardener. At Versailles, twelve miles outside Paris, France s self-styled "Sun King" created not only Europe s most lavish palace, but, beginning in 1661, the most extensive gardens on the continent. In their heyday, the gardens covered an astounding 1,890 acres, about twice the area of New York City s Central Park. Assisting Louis in this enterprise was the low-born gardener André Le Nôtre, whose character and temperament were as different from those of his sovereign as it is possible to conceive. Where Louis was ruthless and relentlessly driven, Le Nôtre was down-to-earth, witty, and amiable and phenomenally talented. At a Versailles where courtiers were in favor one day and out the next, Le Nôtre enjoyed the king s trust and friendship for more than 40 years. In this lavishly illustrated book, Ian Thompson tells more comprehensively than ever before the intertwined stories of an extraordinary garden and an extraordinary friendship.

Warmonger, womanizer, and autocrat, Louis XIV may also have been history's most fanatical gardener. At Versailles, twelve miles outside Paris, France's self-styled "Sun King" created not only Europe's most lavish palace, but, beginning in 1661, the most extensive gardens the Western world has ever seen. Assisting Louis in this enterprise was the low-born gardener Andr Le Ntre, whose character and temperament were as different from those of his sovereign as it is possible to conceive. Where Louis was ruthless and relentlessly driven, Le Ntre was down to earth, witty and amiable and also phenomenally talented. While Louis could strike fear into the highest in the land with just a look, Le Ntre enjoyed the king's trust and friendship for more than 40 years. In this lavishly illustrated book, Ian Thompson tells more comprehensively than ever before the intertwined stories of an extraordinary garden and an extraordinary friendship.

"Warmonger, womaniser and autocrat, Louis XIV, France's self-styled 'Sun King', was also history's most fanatical gardener. At Versailles, twelve miles outside Paris, he created not only Europe's most lavish palace, but the most extensive gardens the Western world has ever seen. The domain of Versailles now covers 1,890 acres (about twice the size of New York's Central Park), but in its heyday under Louis, the Grand Parc covered an astounding 19,800 acres."--BOOK JACKET.
