The Duke of Sully, chief minister of Henry IV, recounts episodes from his years in power: a clockmaker of Poissy, tennis balls, two rival mayors, a governor of Guéret and other affairs of state, intrigue and love, with the king appearing in many guises. Each chapter is a self-contained adventure in the voice of a proud, shrewd old statesman.
