Jacques Coeur est un extraordinaire personnage, et sa vie une fabuleuse aventure. Si le Jacques Coeur de Claude Poulain se conforme avec rigueur à la réalité historique, il se lit en même temps comme un roman. Né avec le siècle, le XVe, qui voit l'Europe commencer à rompre chaînes et carcans du Moyen Age pour s'engager sur les chemins qui mènent aux grandes retrouvailles de la Renaissance, Jacques Coeur, possédé par l'ambition, la rage de vivre au coeur, va rêver son destin et savoir l'accomplir. Courant terres et mers, il affronte pirates ou concurrents pillards. Chypre, Damas ou Alexandrie, Rome, Florence ou Gênes, Montpellier, Genève ou Rouen, à moins que ce ne soient les villes des rives de la mer du Nord, le voient surgir, disparaître et revenir. Sa devise jeu de mot le résume mieux qu'un long discours: A coeurs vaillants riens impossibles. Charles VII, Jeanne d'Arc et Jacques Coeur font sortir victorieusement la France des épreuves de la guerre de Cent Ans. S'il s'est soucié aussi de reconquête, Jacques Coeur demeure l'homme qui fit par son travail reculer la misère et la mort. Claude Poulain, passionné de littérature, épris d'histoire, a travaillé vingt ans dans une maison d'édition célèbre pour son dictionnaire. Il a notamment publié, de 1973 à 1979, une pentalogie, Les Chevauchées de l'An Mil, chez Fayard.
