Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Dive into this bundle of captivating letters penned by the witty and charming Marquise du Deffand. Spanning from 1766 to 1780, these correspondences offer a tantalizing glimpse into the illustrious world of 18th-century France. At the heart of this collection is the lively exchange between Madame du Deffand and her dear friend, the renowned English author Horace Walpole. Their letters brim with wit, philosophical musings, and intimate details of high society life. They dissect the political turmoil of their time, share literary insights, and reveal their profound affection for each other. The Marquise, a blind but brilliant woman, emerges as a sharp observer of human nature and a master of language. Her letters are a testament to the enduring power of friendship, love, and intellectual curiosity. Walpole, an art connoisseur and man of letters, provides a fascinating counterpoint, adding his own wry observations and reflections on the evolving cultural landscape. Together, these letters form a chronicle of a remarkable era, capturing the essence of the Enlightenment and offering a timeless meditation on the human condition. They are a testament to the enduring allure of epistolary literature and a delightful treat for readers interested in history, literature, and the intricacies of human relationships.
