In 1915 the futures of the Schoudler and La Monnerie families are joined with the marriage of François and Jacqueline. The children of this union will be called upon to shape France’s future; however, events seem to want to contradict the call of destiny. Old disagreements, confrontations between the families, ruthless fighting for money and power, and the tragedies that all these things provoke allow for ambitious people to occupy positions of privilege from which they were previously excluded. nbsp; En 1915 los destinos de las familias Schoudler y La Monnerie se unen con el matrimonio de François y Jacqueline.

Jóindulattal mondva: Druon résmentesen tagozódik be a patinás francia irodalmi hagyományba. Kevesebb jóindulattal: hihetetlen, hogy fél évszázaddal Zola után valaki még ennyire fantáziátlanul kövesse ezt a hagyományt… A nyitójelenet erős: egy gyermekágynál állunk, ahol új élet születik, de közben ezt az ágyat aggastyánok, a gall „finom famíliák” már-már mumifikálódott képviselői veszik körül. Szimbólum a köbön, ugye. Ezután Druon belecsap a ratatouille-ba, és novellafüzérként egymásba kapcsolódó jelenetekben mutatja be nekünk Párizs felső tízezrének csúf viselt dolgait. Van itt minden: ambiciózus fiók-Rastignac, kitartott színésznő, számos tőzsdei hiéna, egy rakás gyáriparos sakál… A lényeg, hogy kapzsi és ellenszenves mindenki (pár statiszta kivételével), úgyhogy aki szereti, ha van kivel azonosulni egy regényben, az lábon van itt lőve rendesen. Jól megírt, kifejezetten dinamikus regény azért, ha sok meglepetéssel nem is szolgál – remekül alkalmas arra, hogy utána az ember felhorgadó marxizmusában a 100 leggazdagabb magyar c. kiadványt akarja egészségügyi papírként használni.
