Excerpt from Une Vie d'Ambassadrice au Siècle Dernier: La Princesse de Lieven
Quiconque s'est occupé d'histoire contemporaine connait le nom de la princesse de Lieven. Mais bien peu de personnes connaissent sa vie, ou tout au moins les dessous de sa vie. Parmi les femmes de la première moitié de ce snecle dont on a le plus parlé, il n'en est pas qui ait, autant qu'elle, fourni matière à des jugements contradictoires et par conséquent peu susceptibles de nous donner de sa vraie nature une idée précise et juste.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the life and times of Princess Lieven. Through her vast and insightful correspondence, we are given a snapshot of the customs and inner workings of Russian high society in the early 19th century. Covering the years from Lieven's birth in 1785 until 1838, the text explores the relationships and struggles within the Russian aristocracy as the Napoleonic Wars raged and the Russian Empire transitioned through significant political change. Examining Lieven's personal and often scandalous escapades, the author goes beyond the surface of courtly life to reveal the personal struggles and passions that animated key players of the time. Among them, Tsar Paul I and Alexander I. In addition to providing a unique glimpse into the world of Russian court intrigue, the book explores how Lieven's insightful observations helped shape the course of European history.
