Dancing to the Precipice

Caroline Moorehead brings the fascinating Lucie de la Tour du Pin to life in her well-researched, beautifully written biography of the onetime lady in waiting to Marie Antionette. Born into privilege, Lucie lived during France's most tumultuous era, bearing witness to the revolution, the Directorate, the Napoleonic Empire and the Restoration. Derived largely from Lucie's memoirs and personal papers, Moorehead's biography depicts a strong, intelligent and supremely rational woman who was admired by Queens and Emperors as well as by American farmers and slaves. I have read many wonderful accounts of the French revolution, and Lucie's story is by far one of the most engaging.

Excellent popular history
2009/10/16
形式:ハードカバー
This is a very well-written and interesting view of France and French society in 1770-1853 -- exciting years, to say the least! -- from a unique point of view. Lucy de la Tour du Pin was born into the aristocracy and survived the French Revolution, Napoleon, several periods of exile in Europe, England and America, restorations of the Bourbon monarchy, etc. etc. near -- though not quite at -- the center of events. This book is made more lively by the interesting digressions, evidently culled from her diaries or from contemporary newspapers, about fashion, popular fads and events, and other period trivia which are carefully sprinkled, never to excess, throughout the text. One could wish for more insight into her husband who is a bit of an enigma, but this is a minor quibble about a book which richly deserves all five stars. A real pleasure to read.
