About the book: 2000 / Husbands... Generous and cruel, arousing admiration or pity... Famous, such as d'Artagnan, married to an unbearable saint , or Prince Condé, who imprisoned his wife, and many, many others. What were they like in family life? Cheaters or cuckolds? Good husbands or tyrants? How different they are from each other, how inventive they are in achieving their goal, but they have one goal - to keep their wife “on a short leash” and as strictly as possible!
