Step into the gilded halls, treacherous council chambers, and brutal battlefields of seventeenth-century Europe with Louis XIV: Shadow and Splendor, an immersive, cinematic audiobook spanning over 5 hours of rich historical narrative.

Born after twenty-three years of childless royal despair and terrorized as a boy by the violent rebellions of the Fronde, Louis XIV emerged from vulnerability to forge the most formidable absolute monarchy the Western world had ever seen. Ascending to personal rule following the death of Cardinal Mazarin, the young king broke the power of France’s rebellious aristocracy, declared he would govern alone, and transformed a humble marshland hunting lodge into the awe-inspiring epicenter of European politics and culture: the Palace of Versailles.

Across ten gripping, chronologically structured chapters, discover the full scale of the Sun King’s seventy-two-year reign:

The Rise of Absolute Rule: The dramatic fall of Nicolas Fouquet, the administrative revolution of Colbert, and the calculated creation of court ritual designed to tame the nobility.

Mastery and Cultural Radiance: Decades of military triumph, the golden age of French arts under Molière, Racine, and Lully, and the rise of French as the universal language of diplomacy.

The Hidden Life Behind the Throne: The secret marriage to Madame de Maintenon, the dark intrigues of the Affair of the Poisons, and the fateful Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

The Price of Glory: The devastating continental clashes of the Spanish Succession, the harrowing famine and Great Frost of 1709, and the tragic loss of royal heirs that pushed the aging monarch to his limits.

At over 5 hours in duration, Louis XIV: Shadow and Splendor offers an unforgettable, deeply human look behind the marble, mirrors, and gold—uncovering the private fears, grand ambitions, and immense human cost that defined the longest reign in European history.

Format Note: To ensure seamless playback, this audiobook is delivered as a single, uninterrupted, high-quality audio mp3 file.
