Book Description

Chicago and London: University of Chicago, 2001 Uncorrected page proof. With the collaboration of Jean-Francois Fitou. Translated by Arthur Goldhammer. "The Duke of Saint-Simon was by all accounts, including his own, a sensitive, self-obsessed, ill-tempred man. A courtier and phenomenal chronicler of court life under Louis XIV, he produced the monumental work Memoirs, running to thousands of pages, in which the intrigues, personalities, activities, and gossip of life at Versailles are recorded in ascerbic detail." Book clean, bright and firm in its binding.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Excellent.
