About the Book

AMELIA LAREDO: UNE TRAGEDIE PORTUGAISE Ils sont jeunes et beaux; ils s'aiment et veulent se marier. Mais nous sommes en 1905 et rien ne semble possible entre eux: Amélia Laredó est la petite-fille d'émigrants juifs marocains qui ont fait durement fortune en Amazonie; Louis-Philippe de Bragance est le prince héritier du Portugal, et son père veut le marier à une princesse anglaise. Le Portugal est au bord de la faillite. Paralysés par le clientélisme et la corruption, les gouvernements d'alternance sont incapables de résorber une dette publique abyssale. Le roi Charles Ier tente de prendre les choses en main, au grand dam de certains capitalistes internationaux à qui profite la crise, tandis que l'opinion publique le critique durement, à la fois sur sa politique et sur sa vie privée, et que les complots foisonnent. L'enfant du prince et d'Amélia naît en secret, au mois de mars 1907. Le Roi, pour éviter un scandale, ordonne la séparation temporaire des amants, promettant de régulariser la situation plus tard. La famille Laredó s'exile en Espagne et Louis-Philippe est envoyé en tournée d'inspection des possessions africaines du Portugal. Moins d'un an plus tard, le 1er février 1908, le roi et le prince héritier sont tous deux assassinés à Lisbonne, au coin d'une rue. C'est une tragédie historique; c'est aussi la tragédie d'Amelia Laredo, dont le secret ne pourra jamais être révélé. Une traduction de ce roman en portugais A tragedia da rua do Arsenal a été publiée par les éditions PLANETA MANUSCRITO de Lisbonne, en 1910, pour marquer le centenaire de la République Portugaise. Jean Pailler est l'auteur de la première biographie moderne et équilibrée du roi Charles Ier, qui, traduite par Julio Conrado, a remporté un grand succès au Portugal. Il a ainsi découvert l'histoire d'Amélia Laredo et la vie étonnante de sa fille, sur laquelle il a soigneusement et longuement enquêté. Dans ce roman, il essaie de donner une réponse logique à des questions relatives à deux événements, dont l'interprétation historique me semble présenter des incohérences: - L'assassinat simultané du Roi et du Prince Héritier, le 1er février 1908. - La naissance, le 13 mars 1907, d'une enfant qui jusqu'à la fin de ses jours s'est affirmée de sang royal. Il a imaginé une explication de ces faits qui respecte la mémoire des morts et correspond à ce qu'on sait de leur personnalité
