Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography by the Marquise Du Barry, the mistress of King Louis XV of France during the final years of his reign. It offers an unfiltered account of the inner workings of the French court and aristocracy in the mid-18th century, as the monarchy was nearing its end and the French Revolution was brewing. The book provides intricate details of individuals in positions of power, and the intricate and often shocking scandals that consumed them and the court. It also discusses the author's relationship with the king, her feelings about it, and how her time as his favorite affected those around her and her own life as she navigated the complex world of court politics and public opinion. Beyond simple palace intrigue, her insights into social norms, her thoughtful reflections on social class, and her own personal journey make this a fascinating historical document.
