"Chronicle of the times of Charles IX" - one of the most famous historical works of the famous French writer Prosper Mérimée (1803-1870). This is a fascinating narrative about the people who lived in France in the XVI century, about their cruel and frivolous morals. The central place in the novel is the love story of a young provincial nobleman Bernard de Merzhi to the beautiful Countess Diana. Vividly and wittily tells the writer about Bernard's clashes with his rival - a soulless courtier, an inveterate duelist Komenzh. The characters of the novel fall in love and jealousy, feast and hunt, mystify each other and fight duels over ladies. But behind all this from the pages of the book stands the era of religious wars full of drama, the tragic events of Bartholomew's Night (August 24, 1572), when a Frenchman killed a Frenchman, a brother raised his hand on his brother. The book is decorated with 110 illustrations by the famous French artist Edouard Tuduz.
