Cette histoire qui a fait l'Alsace #7

The seventh volume of Marie-Thérèse Fischer and Francis Keller's chronicle of Alsatian history spans the turbulent years 1605 to 1697 — from the Eagle to the Lily — a period when the region passed between empires and endured the ravages of war. The cover captures that upheaval vividly: a mounted soldier bearing a pike charges through a village engulfed in flames, while a desperate young woman flees through the chaos amid collapsing half-timbered houses and ravens circling a smoke-filled sky. Thumbnail panels along the right edge hint at quieter moments of reconstruction and courtly encounter, offering a sense of the full human range this volume brings to one of France's most storied regions.
