I venture to believe that nothing will be found in the following pages which bears the impress of my personal situation. While events of such magnitude are passing before his eyes, a man who did not forget himself would deserve to be for ever forgotten. I have thought of nothing but the situation of my country. The more I reflect upon that, the more I am convinced that the evil which lies at the root of all her evils, which undermines and destroys her governments and her liberties, her dignity and her happiness, is the evil which I attack;-the idolatry of Democracy.

Oeuvre à la fois fascinante et incontournable, L'Histoire des francs que nous a léguée Grégoire de Tours, souvent considéré comme le Père de l'Histoire, est une chronique à la fois politique et religieuse qui nous aide à mieux cerner les secrets d'une société au sein de laquelle l'Église détenait une position centrale. "De tous les monuments qu'il nous a transmis sur ce long et sombre chaos, le plus important est, à coup sûr, l'Histoire ecclésiastique des Francs de Grégoire de Tours; titre singulier et qui révèle le secret de l'état social à cette époque. Ce n'est pas l'histoire distincte de l'Église, ce n'est pas non plus l'histoire civile et politique seule qu'a voulu retracer l'écrivain; l'une et l'autre se sont offertes en même temps à sa pensée, et tellement unies, qu'il n'a pas cru pouvoir les séparer. Le clergé et les Francs, c'était alors en effet toute la société, la seule du moins qui prît vraiment part aux événements et pût prétendre à une histoire. Le reste de la population vivait et mourait misérable, inactif, ignoré."
