A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Publisher sN ote particular, which at first sight seem extraordinary, whilst, in reality, they are but the development of some small circumstance. So far as we know there exists no chronicle of the Russian Court, and true anecdotes concerning it are extremely rare. Much has been written on the subject by outsiders upon hearsay; but here we have a book penned by a man who spent his life in the milieu which he describes, who knew intimately the people he writes about, who was present at most of the scenes which he describes. That alone would ensure an interest to this volume. We therefore hope that it will amuse its readers, and perhaps contribute in a small degree to reveal the truth concerning Russian Society and the Imperial Family. More we cannot say, except that we leave to Count Vassili the entire responsibility of the judgments expressed and the facts divulged.
