Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique glimpse into the workings of the French court during the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI, through the eyes of Papillon de La Fertà , Intendant of the Menus Plaisirs. The author offers a detailed account of his duties, including organizing lavish spectacles, overseeing the administration of the Comà die-Française and the Comà die-Italienne, and managing the King's finances. The book sheds light on the complex relationships between the French monarchy and the world of theatre, and the challenges of maintaining order and discipline among the Comà die's talented but often unruly actors. The author faced conflicts between the King's desire for splendor and the need for financial prudence, and navigated the personal rivalries and intrigues of the court. Through the author's vivid descriptions, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and social significance of the theatre in 18th-century France, and the role it played in shaping the lives of those who worked within its sphere.
