Marie Antoinette at the Tuileries: DE

Imbert de Saint-Amand paints a vivid, intimate portrait of Marie Antoinette during the most scrutinized years of her life at the Tuileries. Blending close observation with a dramatic sense of political pressure, the book traces how daily court routines, private moods, and public appearances collided with the growing hostility of France. Through scenes drawn from the palace world-where etiquette, rumor, and factional interests constantly reshaped power-Saint-Amand shows a queen caught between image and reality, surrounded by shifting loyalties and escalating danger. As the atmosphere tightens and the distance between monarchy and people grows, the Tuileries becomes more than a residence.Marie Antoinette at the Tuileries is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1892.
