Sobre aquest llibre

The Booker shortlisted novel that "restored the historical novel to its rightful place of honor" ( New York Times).

Robert Merivel, son of a glove maker and an aspiring physician, finds his fortunes transformed when he is given a position at the court of King Charles II. Merivel slips easily into a life of luxury and idleness, enthusiastically enjoying the women and wine of the vibrant Restoration age.

Thus begins Merivel's journey to self-knowledge, which will take him down into the lowest depths of seventeenth-century society.
