Young Henry of Navarre by Heinrich Mann 1984

This classic novel was first published nearly a half-century ago by one of Germany's greatest literary figures, interweaving historical facts with richly drawn fictitious characters. Tracing the life of Henry IV from the king's idyllic childhood in the mountain villages of the Pyrenees right up to his ascendancy to the throne of France, Heinrich Mann chronicles the origins of the French Republic. Mann captures the splendor and glory of the time and paints an intimate and glowing portrait of a courageous, heartwarming personage.

Against the colorful backdrop of wars, political intrigue, rival religious movements, backstairs plotting, and the tumultuous receptions that exemplified the Renaissance social scene, Heinrich Mann has written a spectacular dramatic epic.

Upon its initial publication, the critics hailed Young Henry of Navarre: "YOUNG HENRY OF NAVARRE is an important and, in some respects, a frightening historical novel." -The Nation
