Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Book Club Edition. It was an era of revolution again for France-in politics, in society, in style. The boulevards of Paris bustled with activity, while in the salons de luxe a glittering elite moved across polished parquet floors. Watching from the wings, Prince Louis Napoleon, the great Bonaparte's nephew, waited for Louis Philippe, the constitutional monarch, to fall from grace. When the moment came, he swept forward to reestablish the French Empire. It was an elegant age, and nowhere more so than in the maisons de couture, where gifted seamstresses worked long hours in the shadows, sewing and embroidering magnificent gowns to meet a never-ending demand. Even as a child Louise had yearned to join that talented band of grisettes, artists of the needle and thread, but an apprenticeship is far beyond the reach of a destitute orphan. Given shelter in the home of a seamstress employed by one of the leading dressmakers, Louise slowly begins to learn from her benefactress the intricacies of sewing for high fashion, and a driving ambition grows. To stretch their slender resources they rent one of their garret rooms to a young Englishman named Worth, who has come to Paris to seek a place in that world of silk and satin. Speaking almost no French, practically penniless and brought to the point of starvation, he cannot find work. When he falls behind with the rent he is turned out by protective, jealous Catherine, who has detected in her young charge, Louise, the first flickers of love. But adversity is no match for Charles Worth, a man destined to change the face of fashion forever. In France during the re-establishment of the French Empire, under Prince Louis Napoleon, the great Bonaparte's nephew, a young French child named Louise yearned to reach beyond the life of a destitute orphan, in the world of seamstresses.

In 1866 the first nickel was minted, Alice in Wonderland was written, the ASPCA and the YWCA were founded,the first baseball bunt was laid down in Brooklyn and, on April 2, Insurrection in Virginia was declared officially over. It was also the year in which the South awaited its own version of the War Between the States ~ The Lost Cause, the work of the man universally acknowledged as the ablest and most prolific Southern writer of the period. Edward Alfred Pollard (born in Virginia in 1831, died in Lynchburg in 1872) was the highly respected editor of the Daily Richmond Examiner from 1861 to 1867, and the author of numerous other Confederate~based accounts of the Civil War. It is impossible to write history as an intelligible whole, and to secure its ends, without preserving a certain dramatic unity in the narrative, " Pollard writes in his Introduction. In the succeeding chapters he develops a narrative as fluid and dramatic as a first~class novel. This is General Lee's army on its last legs: "Jaded horses and mules refused to pull; demoralized and badly~scared drivers, with straining eyes and perspiring bodies plied their whips vigorously to no effect; difficult places in the road were choked with blazing wagons, fired to save their contents from the enemy. Hundreds of men dropped from exhaustion; thousands threw away their arms; the demoralization appeared at last to involve the officers; they did nothing to prevent straggling; and many of them seemed to shut their eyes on the hourly reduction of their commands, and rode in advance of their brigades in dogged indifference. But in the jaded, famished crowd there was yet left something of the old spirit which had made the Army of Northern Virginia famous throughout the world, and inscribed its banners with the most glorious names of the war." The Lost Cause is a fascinating, brilliantly written book, long overdue on the shelves of today's buffs, scholars and readers of North and South.…
