Micah Clarke - Tome I - Les recrues de Monmouth
James Scott, duc de Monmouth, (1649-1685), fils naturel de Charles II d'Angleterre. l'avnement de Jacques II, il organisa avec le duc d'Argyle un coup de force qui choua. Ses troupes furent crases le 6 juillet 1685 lors de la bataille de Sedgemoor et il fut dcapit. Toutefois certaines thories ont prtendu qu'il aurait pu tre l'homme au masque de fer. Cette victoire ne profita gure Jacques II qui ne resta que quelques mois sur le trne avant de venir se rfugier en France o il finit ses jours. Micah Clarke, dont nous publierons successivement en traduction franaise les trois pisodes: Les recrues de Monmouth, Le capitaine Micah Clarke, La bataille de Sedgemoor, est le grand roman historique qui tablit la rputation en ce genre d'Arthur-Conan Doyle. Le romancier y a dploy une verve, un humour, un entrain qui rappellent les bonnes pages de Dumas pre. Aussi faudrait-il s'tonner que les traducteurs aient nglig une uvre aussi vivante s'il n'en fallait voir la cause dans le peu de familiarit de nos contemporains franais avec l'histoire trangre. Pour le lecteur d'Outre-Manche, Conan Doyle n'avait nulle besoin d'explications prliminaires. Il nous a paru qu'une prsentation tait ncessaire en tte de l'dition franaise de son roman et l'on nous permettra, en outre, de renvoyer notre ouvrage La Cour galante de Charles II, o le lecteur trouvera, sans prjudice de bien des dtails curieux, des portraits des meilleurs peintres et graveurs, leurs contemporains, reproduisant les traits de Lucy Walters, mre de Monmouth, du roi Charles II, jeune homme et vieillard, et enfin de Monmouth. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
