Author: Amir Alexander Narrator: Jonathan Ross Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins Release date: 09-10-19 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 9 ratings Genres: Mathematics Publisher's Summary: One night in 1661, Nicholas Fouquet, a superintendent under Louis XIV, was arrested. His crime was peculiar: He had dared to construct a grand geometrical garden. In doing so, he violated an irrefutable hierarchy: that geometry, in its perfection, was a testament to divine right. The elegant, symmetrical designs were more than just ornament; they were proofs of incontestable certainty, and thus the authority to rule. But how did the French royalty fall in love with this peculiar landscape design? Wherefore Versailles?
