Il Diavolo Zoppo
e il Suo Compare by Alessandra Necci is a new historical book published by Marsilio. Alessandra Necci with accuracy proposes to its readers two french characters absolutely complicated like the ones of Talleyrand and Fouché were.
Both Catholics, and both later profound haters of the Catholic church, these two politicians lived an intense existence, sometimes enemies, other times "friends" just for convenience.
They became the perfect characters of the political opportunism..
It is true, of course, but they have been also great strategists; they survived the French Revolution and what it followed, and more than being loyals to the various regimes or governments they have been loyal to France.
A captivating reading for everyone.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
