Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Delphine De Sabran, Marquise De Custine In the course of my studies on the eighteenth century I came into communication upon several occasions with the Comte Pierre De Croze Lemercier, who possessed a rich collection of autographs. For years this kindly scholar, a man whose charming nature was most attractive, continually showed me the greatest courtesy in placing at my disposal, with unwearied readiness, the documents in his possession. A man of keen literary tastes, De Croze Lemercier took the greatest interest in intellectual subjects, and in 1894 published a delightful volume upon the Chevalier de Boufflers, which was successful, as it deserved to be. As we shared the same tastes, our intimacy naturally increased, and though at the outset our relations were purely literary, they soon became a deep and cordial friendship. De Croze Lemercier had long intended to write a life of Mme. de Custine, and had collected numerous documents for this purpose. One day, when we were talking of our work, he happened to speak of his intention; the idea of a collaboration was mooted, and on either side it was readily accepted. We considered that though much had been written about Mme. de Custine, she had none-the-less remained comparatively unknown. Her family papers, of which we possessed many in their entirety, would allow us to present this uncertain and changing figure in the light of reality.

Book excerpt: The Marquis de Custine's unique perspective on a vast, fascinating country in the grip of oppressive tyranny In 1839, encouraged by his friend Balzac, Custine set out to explore Russia. His impressions turned into what is perhaps the greatest and most influential of all books about Russia under the Tsars. Rich in anecdotes as much about the court of Tsar Nicholas as the streets of St Petersburg, Custine is as brilliant writing about the Kremlin as he is about the great northern landscapes. An immediate bestseller on publication, Custine's book is also a central book for any discussion of 19th century history, as - like de Tocqueville's Democracy in America - it dramatizes far broader questions about the nature of government and society.

Book excerpt: The reign of the King who now so happily and so gloriously rules over France will one day exercise the talent of the most skilful historians. But these men of genius, deprived of the advantage of seeing the great monarch whose portrait they fain would draw, will search everywhere among the souvenirs of contemporaries and base their judgments upon our testimony. It is this great consideration which has made me determined to devote some of my hours of leisure to narrating, in these accurate and truthful Memoirs, the events of which I myself am witness. Naturally enough, the position which I fill at the great theatre of the Court has made me the object of much false admiration, and much real satire. Many men who owed to me their elevation or their success have defamed me; many women have belittled my position after vain efforts to secure the King's regard. In what I now write, scant notice will be taken of all such ingratitude. Before my establishment at Court I had met with hypocrisy of this sort in the world; and a man must, indeed, be reckless of expense who daily entertains at his board a score of insolent detractors. I have too much wit to be blind to the fact that I am not precisely in my proper place. But, all things considered, I flatter myself that posterity will let certain weighty circumstances tell in my favour. An accomplished monarch, to greet whom the Queen of Sheba would have come from the uttermost ends of the earth, has deemed me worthy of his entertainment, and has found amusement in my society. He has told me of the esteem which the French have for Gabrielle d'Estrees, and, like that of Gabrielle, my heart has let itself be captured, not by a great king, but by the most honest man of his realm. To France, Gabrielle gave the Vendome, to-day our support. The princes, my sons, give promise of virtues as excellent, and will be worthy to aspire to destinies as noble. It is my desire and my duty to give no thought to my private griefs begotten of an ill-assorted marriage. May the King ever be adored by his people; may my children ever be beloved and cherished by the King; I am happy, and I desire to be so.
