About this book

Memoirs of Duc de Saint-Simon, 1691-1709: Presented to the King by Duc de Saint-Simon. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781933698144.

Wit, humor, vitriol and pageantry-the necessary hallmarks for a peer at the French court―also deliver a great read. Saint-Simon regales us with an irreverent, insiders view of his more than 30 years at court, from the later days of Louis XIV to the ascension of Louis XV. All the plays for power, sex, position and money by friends, enemies, nobles and others are here, with Saint-Simons fascinating, and brutally honest, assessment of any situation.
