«Il signor giardiniere» is the historical novel by Frédéric Richaud, published by Ponte alle Grazie in paperback (160 pages, in Italian).
In seventeenth-century France, amid the Dutch War, peasant revolts, and the repression of Protestants and Jansenists, Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, gardener to Louis XIV, tends the orchards and fruit trees of Versailles. His plant world contrasts with the clamour of war; his rural idyll eventually collides with outside reality.
The original title of the work is «Monsieur le Jardinier»; the Italian translation is by Francesco Bruno.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the reign of Louis XIV and the world of the gardens of Versailles.
