About the Book

LA DUCHESSE DE LA MANCHE Roman ( première publication en 2008) Fiction historique, humoristique et policière. A la suite de la curieuse disparition de six candélabres dans une petite église, et de la découverte d'un cadavre dans les souterrains de Hyde Park, Eduardo, jeune diplomate en poste à Londres enquête sur la personnalité mystérieuse de Sébastiana de Belmonte, soi-disant héritière du trône de Barataria. Dans toute l'Europe, et grâce à l'internet, il reconstitue l'histoire picaresque de cette femme, presque d'un bout à l'autre du XXème siècle. A travers les guerres, les révolutions, le Paris des années folles, le Berlin nazi, l'insaisissable Duchesse de la Manche court d'aventure en aventure, de mari en mari, en quête d'une couronne ou simplement de son identité. Au terme de cette enquête minutieuse et loufoque, Eduardo saura-t-il se contenter d'un destin raisonnable et prendre l'amour et la vie comme ils viennent ? Ce roman est fortement inspiré de l'histoire vraie de la vraie-fausse duchesse de Bragance, que l'auteur a racontée, de façon plus sérieuse, dans Maria Pia: the Pretender (écrit en anglais, plus tard traduit en portugais sous le titre Maria Pia: a mulher que queria ser rainha de Portugal (Liv. Bertrand editora, Lisbonne) Destiné au lecteur francophone, il ne se veut rien d'autre qu'une fiction, un divertissement, qui fait ressortir combien la recherche historique est parfois proche de la détection policière. Dans un monde où de plus en plus de gens se passionnent pour la généalogie, où les aventures de ces personnes singulières, par la naissance ou le talent, qu'on appelle les people, les aventures de Sébastiana, arrière-petite fille à la fois de Don Quichotte, de Dulcinée et de Sancho Pança, et celles de l'innocent Eduardo, aux prises avec une enquête aux rebondissements aussi insoupçonnés que comiques, ne peut manquer d'intéresser le lecteur, qui s'amusera sans doute des quelques clins d'oeil de l'auteur à ses classiques . Jean Pailler, qui a vécu au Portugal pendant la Révolution des OEillets, sur laquelle il a publié un témoignage rare (Portugal-Le printemps des capitaines - L'Harmattan) s'est passionné pour ce pays, pour le grand romancier Eça de Queiroz et son époque, la fin du XIXème siècle et le début du XXème siècle . Il a consacré au roi Carlos I (assassiné en 1908°) une biographie qui, traduite en portugais par Julio Conrado, a été saluée là-bas comme un livre important.(Liv. Bertrand edit.) Cette réédition du livre revêt une forme plus agréable, dans un format plus maniable, pour la version brochée. En même temps, la version numérique est moderne et commode. Une postface de l'auteur redéfinit l'univers imaginaire dans lequel se situe l'histoire de la duchesse de la Manche
