A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Before old age should make my hand falter and the scenes and the faces of the past become indistinct in my memory, I desired to fix nimage that is always with me and in which I am told people of to-day take an eager interest. It was my intention to confine myself to my own memories, to what I saw and heard during the seven and a half years I spent with the Prince I mperial. But no sooner was my project known than help came to me on every hand, and I should need many pages if I were to record all the invaluable assistance given me, spontaneously, by friends old and new. I cannot, however, refrain from mentioning two devoted collaborators, M. Franceschini Pietri and the Abbe Misset, vdthout whom I could not have brought my task to a satisfactory conclusion. M. Pietri, whose unparalleled fidelity made him for more than half a century the witness of the private life and the confidant of the thoughts of the Imperial family, has been my guide for the last years of the Prince slife. As for the Abbe Misset, he has chosen for me, out of his admirable collection, illustrations that have helped me to show to the eyes of the reader what the Prince was throughout the successive phases of his life, as well as those who lived in touch with him, and the places he visited. To crown all, the Empress, meeting my dearest wishes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
