Résumé
Novel in four parts:- In the Introduction, published in 1842 under the title Catherine de Médicis expliquée, Balzac urges the reader to revise his judgment on a queen considered bloody.- The second part, Le Martyr calviniste, published in 1841, tells the story of an imaginary character, son of the furrier of Catherine de Medici. He is a Calvinist, compromised in the plots of the queen, faces terrible tortures but keeps silent not to compromise her.- The third part, La Confidence des Ruggieri, published in 1836 traces the love of Charles IX and Marie Touchet some time after the St. Bartholomew massacre.- In the fourth part, Les Deux Rêves, published in 1830, two guests at a dinner, one lawyer, one surgeon (perhaps Robespierre and Marat?) tell how Catherine de Medici appeared in their dream.The four parts were combined in the second Furne edition (1846) of La Comédie Humaine.
