About this book

Memoirs: Duc de Saint-Simon Volume One: 1691-1709 by Duc De Saint-Simon. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781853753527.

The Duc de Saint-Simon was at the very center of Louis XIVs court at Versailles, a hotbed of intrigue, passion, jealousy, and political skullduggery. He was a genuinely pious and honest man whose unblinking record of the court-his eye-witness testimony of wars, intrigues, and royal visits-make this a supreme work of art. These memoirs were the literary inspiration for Marcel Prousts own masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past.
