Summary

Robert Merivel, hero of Restoration, renowned physician and courtier to Charles II, is no longer a young man. Desperate to overcome the anxieties of middle age, he embarks for France in search of a position at the court of the Sun King. But Versailles-all glitter in front and squalor behind-is a world of shimmering deceptions. Only a chance encounter with Madame de Flamanville, a clever botanist who leads Merivel deliciously along the path of erotic love, saves him from despair. Torn between enjoying himself and making something of his life, through a highly original study of the souls of animals Merivel tries to be diligent, but constantly backslides into laughter 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.
