The memoirs of Louis-Philippe, King of the French, are a unique and insightful look into the life of a French monarch during the years leading up to the French Revolution. Louis-Philippe was a capable ruler, though he was often overshadowed by the more charismatic members of his family. He was also a patriot, and his thoughts on the role of monarchy in France are a valuable source of insight into the French government of the time. John Hardman's translation is clear and easy to read, making this a perfect choice for advanced high school or college level French students.; 8vo ; 476 pages; TBC.
