Wit, humor, vitriol and pageantry -- the necessary hallmarks for a peer at the French court also deliver a great reading experience. Saint-Simon regales us with an irreverent insider's view of his more than 30 years at court, from the later days of Louis XIV to the ascension of Louis XV. All the plays for power, sex, position and money by friends, enemies, nobles and others are here, with Saint-Simon's fascinating, and brutally honest, assessment of any situation.

The court of Louis XIV (the Sun King) at Versailles was unequalled for splendour in Europe's history, a hotbed of intrigue, jealousy, passion and political skullduggery, as well as artistic and literary excellence. The Duc de Saint-Simon was a man of political skill and influence at the heart of the royal court of over thirty years and a writer who captured its atmosphere at the height of French power and pretige.
