About the Book

Jeanne Poisson se promène à la limite des jardins de Versailles un jour de chasse royale, en 1744. Elle y rencontre Damiens et le chevalier d'Assas qui interviennent pour la protéger contre le comte du Barry. Elle y rencontre aussi le Roi, Louis XV, à qui elle demande la grâce du jeune cerf qui devait être sacrifié. La haine s'installe dans le coeur de du Barry, l'amour dans celui des quatre autres personnages. Dans la même journée, elle découvre sa véritable origine, grâce à Armand de Tournehem, son père biologique. Un méprisable personnage, Henri d'Étioles, entre alors en jeu. Il veut à tout prix épouser Jeanne, quitte à l'intimider et à la menacer. Son manège réussit, elle comprend vite qu'elle n'a pas le choix... Voici l'histoire de celle qui deviendra la marquise de Pompadour, après avoir déjoué bien des pièges et des complots. Le titre de la suite de ce roman: Le Rival du roi Usée par la vie de cour et une santé fragile, la marquise doit s'effacer au profit d'autres favorites dès 1751 mais reçoit en compensation le titre de duchesse et reste la confidente du roi, voire la complice de ses plaisirs. Elle aménage l'hôtel du Parc-aux-Cerfs, à Versailles, pour les rencontres clandestines de Louis XV avec de très jeunes filles comme la délicieuse Mlle O'Murphy. Elle bénéficie d'innombrables largesses comme le château de Pompadour, en Corrèze, et l'hôtel d'Évreux, à Paris, plus connu aujourd'hui sous le nom de... palais de l'Élysée. Une femme d'influence Elle use de son influence en faveur du ministère Choiseul et on lui attribue le renversement des alliances au cours de la Guerre de Sept ans qui conduit au désastreux traité de Paris. Mais ses origines roturières lui valent la haine des courtisans qui répandent à son propos des chansons satiriques, les poissonnades. Mécène, elle fait attribuer à son frère Abel Poisson la Direction des Bâtiments et celui-ci s'acquittera avec brio de sa tâche, faisant notamment aménager à Paris la place Louis XV (la Concorde) en style néo-antique. Elle protège aussi les Encyclopédistes et les philosophes qui contestent l'absolutisme royal, y compris Voltaire qui lui doit son fauteuil d'académicien et écrira à son propos: Dans le fond de son coeur, elle était des nôtres; elle protégeait les lettres autant qu'elle pouvait. La marquise de Pompadour symbolise à jamais l'art de vivre généreux, raffiné et léger du Siècle des Lumières. Elle meurt d'une fluxion de poitrine à 42 ans. Lors de ses funérailles solennelles, le 17 avril 1764, le roi, qui ne pouvait s'y joindre en raison du protocole, aurait murmuré de sa fenêtre: La marquise aura mauvais temps pour son voyage !... Sur la fin de sa vie, le vieux monarque retrouvera un semblant de gaieté avec la comtesse du Barry.
