Description
by Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon (Author), Robert Arnot (Introduction by)
The book ""Memoirs of the Comtesse Du Barry With Minute Details of Her Entire Career as Favorite of Louis XV Written by Herself"" is a first-person account of the life and career of Jeanne B�����cu, the Comtesse Du Barry, who was the mistress of King Louis XV of France. The memoirs were written by Du Barry herself and were later edited and published by Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon. The book covers Du Barry's life from her childhood as an illegitimate daughter of a seamstress to her rise to power as the king's favorite. It includes details of her relationships with various men, including her first husband, her lover, the Duc de Brissac, and finally, the king himself. The book also provides insights into the politics and social life of the French court during the 18th century.The memoirs offer a unique perspective on the life of a woman who was both celebrated and reviled for her role in the court of Louis XV. Du Barry was known for her beauty, charm, and wit, but she was also criticized for her lack of education and her humble origins. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman who defied the norms of her time and rose to become one of the most powerful women in France.1908. This delightful and lively pseudonymous work was in fact written not by herself but by Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon. The persona created is that of a woman who always tells the truth as she sees it, but it is made clear to the reader that what the narrator sees is very seldom exactly the objective truth. The author ends as well as begins (in the middle of the action), thus creating an illusion of a slice of a journal but simultaneously giving the reader the uneasy feeling that the first and last chapters seem to be missing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
