Project Abstract
In this
project you will explore the life and times of one of the most powerful
rulers in history: Louis XIV, the Sun King. You will learn what conditions
prevailed in 17th century France that allowed (or rather called
for) this absolute ruler who so openly expressed ”L’état c’est moi”
(I am the State).
You will
analyze Louis’ fascinating personality, his concept of power, his political
and economic vision, as well as his personal whims and charms. At the same
time, you will explore the great products of his age: science, architecture,
literature, theatre, music and even fashion.
