Now exiled in Vienna, she looks back twenty-one years to the legendary opulence of Versailles and meticulously reconstructs July 14, 15, and 16 of 1789. When Agathe-Sidonie is summoned to the Queen’s side on the morning of the 14th, Versailles is a miniature universe, sparkling with every outward appearance of happiness and power, peopled with nobles of minutely calibrated rank, and run according to a hundred-year-old ritual called the Perfect Day. But with the shocking news that someone has woken the King in the night, order begins to disintegrate and word of the fall of the Bastille seeps into court. Soon Versailles’s beauty is nothing more than a shell encasing rising panic and chaos. Agathe-Sidonie watches as the Queen’s attempts to flee are aborted; her most intimate friend betrays her; and the King, appearing to sleepwalk through this crisis, never alters his routine of visiting the Apollo Salon several times a day to consult a giant crystal thermometer. From the tiniest garret to the Hall of Mirrors, where Marie-Antoinette stands alone and terrified in the dark, Chantal Thomas shows us a world on the edge of oblivion and an intimate portrait of the woman who, like “fire in motion,” was its center.July 1789: at the eve of the revolution,occupants of Versailles live in a miniature universe, unconcerned by the increasing turmoil in Paris. But with the shocking news that someone has woken the King in the night, order begins to disintegrate and word of the fall of the Bastille seeps into court. Madame Agathe-Sidonie Laborde, the devoted reader for Marie Antoinette, refuses to leave her queen’s side. She watches as the Queen’s attempts to flee are aborted; her most intimate friend betrays her; and the King, appearing to sleepwalk through this crisis, never alters his routine of visiting the Apollo Salon several times a day to consult a giant crystal thermometer. From the tiniest garret to the Hall of Mirrors, where Marie Antoinette stands alone and terrified in the dark, Chantal Thomas creates an intimate portrait of the woman who, like “fire in motion,” was at the center of a world on the edge of oblivion.Product IdentifiersISBN-100743260783ISBN-139780743260787eBay Product ID (ePID)30265998Key DetailsAuthorChantal ThomasNumber Of Pages232 pagesFormatPaperbackPublication Date2004-07-14LanguageEnglishPublisherTouchstonePublication Year20040000Additional DetailsCopyright Date2004DimensionsWeight7.5 OzHeight0.8 In.Width5.2 In.Length8 In.Target AudienceGroupTradeClassification MethodDewey Decimal843/.914First Touchstone edition 2004Table Of ContentContents Prologue: Vienna, February 12, 1810Versailles, July 14, 1789July 15, 1789July 16, 1789Vienna, January 1811Reviews”A fascinating portrayal ⊠Gorgeous details.” The Christian Science Monitor”A fascinating portrayal … Gorgeous details.” The Christian Science Monitor”Compelling . . .
