Versailles -- all glitter in front and squalor behind -- is a fiasco: Merivel is forced to share an attic (and a chamber pot) with a Dutch clock-maker while attempting to sustain himself on peas and jam and water from the fountains. Switzerland, by contrast, is perhaps a little too comfortable. But the lady, a clever botanist, leads Merivel deliciously on -- until her jealous husband bursts in with duelling pistols. As he narrates the picaresque journey, Merivel gets into all sorts of scrapes; he is torn between enjoying himself and making something of his life, through medicine and the study of science. He tries to be diligent, but constantly backslides into laugher and laziness. A big-hearted rogue who loves his daughter, his country house and the English King... Merivel is Everyman -- and he speaks directly to us down the centuries. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Charles II, 1660-1685 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Physicians $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Louis XIV, 1643-1715 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Switzerland $x History $y 1648-1789 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Audio books. 700 1 $a Barrett, Sean, $d 1940- $4 nrt 710 2 $a AudioGO (Firm) 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204070020.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110051941.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F03B54E0AF111E39305B8A1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
