Henri IV: un roi français
By Max Gallo. 2016
Il est le roi de France et de Navarre qui a voulu dépasser les clivages et faire vivre ensemble catholiques…
et protestants. Et il en est mort. Le vendredi 14 mai 1610, Jean-François Ravaillac, catholique exalté originaire d'Angoulême, poignarde le souverain dans son carrosse, rue de la Ferronnerie. Il voulait en finir avec cet hérétique paillard, parjure et renégat dont la conversion n'était que façade. Dans un texte haletant, Max Gallo dresse le portrait d'Henri IV, ce Béarnais vigoureux, grand amateur de chasse, imbattable au jeu de paume, fou de femmes, et qui n'aura de cesse de consolider l'État, d'administrer une saine justice et d'éviter que la France sombre dans la guerre civile. Pour les ligues catholiques, Henri IV sera, jusqu'au bout, un voleur d'âmes . Mais l'Histoire retiendra de ce grand roi qu'il était celui de tous les Français, apôtre infatigable de la tolérance et de la concorde. 2016.La Bible racontée comme un roman

Pour les croyants, la Bible est la Vérité qui décrit la relation entre Dieu et les hommes. Mais elle est aussi le miroir de l'humanité, dans sa bonté comme dans ses côtés les plus sombres. 2015.

served overseas from spring 1915 until spring 1919. The author, who served in the battalion throughout that period and rose from private to captain, wrote the story many years after the war, based on his personal memories and experiences.
