Pre-revolutionary Paris comes to life in this fascinating story
surrounding the correspondence between two colorful and witty
society figures: the French author Louise d'Epinay and the Italian
priest-diplomat Ferdinando Galiani. Their friends included
Voltaire, Diderot, Melchior Grimm, and the famous women of the
salons, and their letters touched upon everything from social
gossip to issues of education and politics. Francis Steegmuller's
book is at once a unique history and a charming account of
friendship sustained in a turbulent age. Originally published in
1993. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
