Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Comtesse d'Houdetot: Sa Famille, Ses Amis
Nous esp�rons que ce livre recevra des lettr�s et des gens du monde le m�me accueil que celui qui l'a pr�c�d�. Les illustrations qui s'y trouvent, les pi�ces documentaires et la nombreuse correspondance in�dite qu'on y peut lire, portent en elles l'int�r�t et la vie. Elles nous transportent au sein d'une �poque pleine d'�l�gance et d'esprit, et nous font comprendre une fois de plus ses s�ductions et son mirage.
