Memoirs of Talleyrand

Meer over het boek

In the first rank of French statesmen and diplomats of the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century stands Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, who for more than half a century, under the most opposite political regimes, was involved in all the important affairs of his country, and played a great part in all the contemporaneous history of Europe. The memoirs were collected from the French National Archives by Leon Vallee, Librarian of the Bibliotheque Nationale.
