Title: A really interesting and developing experience.
Product review: I have read this book in its original french version. I really enjoyed d'Ormesson's skillfull writing. Although I had some problems to get into the story in first pages, by the end of the book I didn't want it to be finished. I had both hate and sympathie for the aristocracy. Aristocracy is not present in Turkish history. As a Turkish, it was a real experience for me to understand the life and the thoughts of noble families. At the end I had pity not for the nobility buried but for a culture no more living. It was also a good experience to see the history of a millenium through the eyes of a different kind of people. I really enjoyed every word which reflected so many views, so many personages, so many different feelings. In total "Au Plaisir de Dieu" (At God's Pleasure) is a gate to a great universe for people who are enthusiastic in exploring.
