This review is from: Memoirs of Duc de Saint-Simon, 1710-1715: The Bastards Triumphant (Paperback)
I am the publisher. No kidding, I quit my job and started a publishing company so I could make The Memoirs of Duc de Saint-Simon readily available. As a lifetime reader, I was struck at how much this work reminded me of epic fiction. It has a great story line, opulant setting, bizzare characters, and one of the most compelling and funniest narrators you'll ever read...and it really happened!
This is book two in the three book set, and if you've read book one, I can tell book two takes it up a notch. Now that the scene at the court of Louis XIV has been set, and the mesmerizing cast of characters have been introduced, you can't help but get sucked in to the corrupt and debauched world Saint-Simon lives in. You will not be disappointed.
