Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description En cette anne 1799, le chevalier de SaintGeorges, multre, clbre matre d'escrime, de guerre et de musique, est atteint d'un mal qu'il pressent mortel. La nuit, alors que de terribles douleurs au basventre le tiennent en veil, il songe Jeanne qu'il connat peine et dont la jeunesse l'meut. Un soir de cette mme anne, Beaumarchais, mourant, convoque SaintGeorges pour lui confier un mystrieux critoire. Un homme masqu surgit, et tente de s'emparer de l'objet. SaintGeorges tire l'pe, mais la brusque pense de Jeanne le surprend. L'inconnu s'enfuit. Beaumarchais expire, aprs avoir remis au chevalier un tract de L'extrme ambigu, un obscur thtre... Quelle est donc cette existence mystrieuse dans laquelle le chevalier joue, s'exalte, titube de douleur, d'amour ? Et quel est le secret de cet homme ? Estce la couleur de sa peau ? Estce une passion de jeunesse pour une reine sublime et malaime, qui finit en charrette vers le couperet populaire ? Ou estce un enfant de couleur, un gamin rieur, courageux, bruyant, comme notre hros en croise chaque instant, son Acadmie d'pe ou sur les planches des thtres ? Lorsque, intrigu, SaintGeorge se rend l'Extrme ambigu, il assiste avec stupfaction la reprsentation publique d'un pisode honteux de sa propre vie : le duel avec la chevalire d'Eon, que douze ans auparavant, il accepta de perdre pour des raisons politiques, la demande du mme Beaumarchais. Et dans l'acteur qui joue son propre rle, il reconnat l'homme au masque. Le chevalier monte sur scne et se mle de participer au duel. Mais sous les traits de D'Eon, la figure de Jeanne surgit... Multipliant les nigmes, Daniel Picouly entrane le lecteur en une course effrne dans le Paris pittoresque du Directoire finissant peupl de passions et de mystres. Les personnages haut en couleur s'affrontent au cours de scnes tonnantes o le ballet des mots n'a rien envier celui des gestes. Un dlice. About the Author Daniel Picouly est lauteur, chez Grasset, de LEnfant Lopard (Prix Renaudot 1999) et de La treizime mort du chevalier (janvier 2004).
