The Passions of Princes is a novel based on a true story of French Colonial Louisiana in the eighteenth century. Its pages combine intrigue at the court of Louis XV in France with romance and war on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is the period of the Enlightenment in France and Europe, and early French settlers of colonial Louisiana live in the long shadow cast by the glittering court of Louis XV at Versailles. The Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of the self-absorbed French King, will virtually rule the French Empire for twenty years and determine the fate of its colonies. At the dawn of 1733, when this story begins, three European empires compete for dominance in America. There is every reason to believe that France will be victorious and that someday North America, from sea to sea, will be French. Lives of colonists, Native Southeastern Americans, French royals and African slaves interweave as they approach the twilight of the French Empire in North America. Paperback, Label: Greyrock, Greyrock, Product group: Book, Published: 2001-12-11, Studio: Greyrock, Sales rank: 2957526.
