{"product_id":"9781554459162","title":"A Gentleman of France","description":"Fateful events are in motion in medieval France of the late 1580s -- events that will lead to the War of the Three Henries -- and, eventually, to the ascension of Henry of Navarre to the French throne. Forty-year-old M. de Marsac, a gentleman soldier, is in terrible straights. Money is the problem -- his finances have gone to hell, and soon enough his status will follow. He's a gentleman -- that is, he's gentry -- but being a gentleman isn't like being a beggared baron; there is no title for him to trade on. He grooms his own horse by cover of night, and when he goes before the court of Henry of Navarre seeking a commission, he faces ridicule because of his frayed, wear-worn clothes.\u003cp\u003eBut M. de Marsac knows a thing we all could stand to learn: he knows that clothes in no way make the man -- and that a true gentleman can win the respect he deserves by boldness and by courage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eBooksLib","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161520816368,"sku":"9781554459162","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554459162_p0.jpg?v=1763753140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554459162","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
