Seeds of Empire G. M. Naug

Across this giant canvas march men of destiny involved in wars, discoveries, intrigues and political machinations in eighteenth century Europe and Hindustan. Beautiful coquettes and courtesans, stately Queens and Begums and dutiful wives partner them. The narrator, Frenchman Claude Martin, almost defies description, so convoluted and amazing were his exploits and achievements. The first book of the Ferenghi Quartet opens in Lyon, France, in 1750. Inspired by the life of CLAUDE MARTIN (1735-1800). Architect, engineer, soldier of fortune, cartographer, botanist, astronomer and lover. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Seeds of Empire (G. M. Naug)
