It is 1570, and France has been torn apart by religious warsbetween Catholics and Huguenots. The formidable Queen Mother, Catherine deMedicis, calls on Henri de Malassise to negotiate a peace treaty with theHuguenots. The wily nobleman needs all his experience and psychologicalinsight to navigate through the tactics, manoeuvres and compromises of thediscussions. He sees some division in the Huguenot ranks: is it a weakness, ora clever ploy by his adversaries? Is it by chance or design that his Huguenotcousin, the enigmatic Eleonore, appears on the scene at a critical moment? The negotiation at Saint-Germain really did take place, andMalassise played a key role. The author Francis Walder draws on his ownmilitary and diplomatic experience to illustrate, through this PrixGoncourt-winning novel, the skills of negotiation much needed in diplomacy andbusiness today.
Francis Walder (originally Waldburger) was born in Brussels in 1906. He trained at the Royal Military Academy there, and in WWII was a prisoner of war in Germany for five years. After the war he represented the Belgian Army in diplomatic negotiations. While an officer, he wrote a few philosophical texts, but it was in retirement that he published historical novels, beginning with Saint-Germain, ou la Negociation (Prix Goncourt 1958) and later Une Lettre de Voiture (1962) and Chaillot ou la Coexistence (1967). He died in Paris in 1997.
