Homme d'Etat malgr lui, prince de la tradition, aveugl par les Lumires qui le dtournent toujours vers le pass, Louis XVI apparat bien comme le roi " empch " de son sicle. Inhib par une ducation castratrice, c'est un souverain dont on a bris les ressorts de la personnalit qui prside aux destines du royaume de France, alors qu'il a tout juste vingt ans. Jusqu'aux prmices de la Rvolution, ce souverain " honnte homme " se passionne pour les sciences, rve de voyages outremer, forge quelques serrures, tout en gouvernant, regret, ses Etats. Entour de ministres remarquables, il dcourage leurs initiatives par une indcision maladive. N'ayant aucune confiance en luimme, il se dfie de tous, et surtout de ses conseillers les plus dvous dont il ne peut supporter l'crasante personnalit, car il se montre toujours jaloux du pouvoir qu'il ne parvient pourtant pas exercer. MarieAntoinette l'intimide, ses frres l'inquitent et il redoute la Cour avec son tiquette immuable. Alors, il chasse et chasse encore pour sublimer ses frustrations.Ce monarque, qui n'eut jamais la passion du pouvoir et qui assista impuissant au dclenchement de la Rvolution a soulev bien des polmiques. La culpabilit collective qui pesa longtemps sur les Franais l'a fig dans une imagerie rvolutionnaire ou saintsulpicienne dont les contours semblent inexorablement dessins par les bois de la guillotine.A la veille du bicentenaire de la Rvolution, cette biographie, aussi vivante que savante, aussi documente que sereine, renvoie dos dos les dtracteurs systmatiques et les admirateurs inconditionnels de Louis XVI. Elle met pour la premire fois en pleine lumire une image cohrente et lucide du dernier roi de l'Ancien Rgime.Evelyne Lever, spcialiste de l'histoire de l'Ancien Rgime, est ingnieur de recherche au CNRS.
