We apologize for any inconvenience, but if you are still using such an old

You really should upgrade even if just for your own online safety and
security.

Memoirs Duc de Saint-Simon
1691-1709
By Duc de Saint-Simon
With a passionate eye for detail, brilliant character sketches and devastating wit, Saint-Simon, a peer during the reign of the Sun King Louis XIV, paints a dramatic portrait of his early years at the French court.
Known for its treacherous conspiracies, pompous rituals and ribald debauchery, it remains one of the most famous royal courts in history.
In Saint-Simon's first-hand account we meet the legendary Sun King, his powerful mistresses and bastards, his decadent nephew---and Saint-Simon's confidant---Duc d'Orleans, and a broad cast of characters worthy of the most imaginative novels.
About the Author
With a passion that often tore through the page as he wrote, Saint Simon, a Duke and a Peer at the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, spent his lifetime crafting what have often been called the greatest memoirs ever written.
