Paperback. Condizione: New. Louis Napoleon, the future Emperor Napoleon III, was fourteen years older than his first cousin Prince Napoleon. Notwithstanding this difference in age, an intimacy was established between them from an early date, and although at time a few clouds drifted over the atmosphere, nothing was ever to break the close connection binding them together. Their friendship, formed in a land of exile in which both passed their childhood and a portion of their youth, was proof against every trial, and endured up to the death of the Emperor. They were, however, very different in character, and in many points quite contrary to each other. In order to unfold the nature of this friendship, this work leaves aside official letters and keeps to those which reveal an intimate character. The reading of these letters, written with no eye to future publication, will assist the unprejudiced historian, more than anything else, to come to a true understanding of their real natures.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Book Club Edition. It was an era of revolution again for France-in politics, in society, in style. The boulevards of Paris bustled with activity, while in the salons de luxe a glittering elite moved across polished parquet floors. Watching from the wings, Prince Louis Napoleon, the great Bonaparte's nephew, waited for Louis Philippe, the constitutional monarch, to fall from grace. When the moment came, he swept forward to reestablish the French Empire. It was an elegant age, and nowhere more so than in the maisons de couture, where gifted seamstresses worked long hours in the shadows, sewing and embroidering magnificent gowns to meet a never-ending demand. Even as a child Louise had yearned to join that talented band of grisettes, artists of the needle and thread, but an apprenticeship is far beyond the reach of a destitute orphan. Given shelter in the home of a seamstress employed by one of the leading dressmakers, Louise slowly begins to learn from her benefactress the intricacies of sewing for high fashion, and a driving ambition grows. To stretch their slender resources they rent one of their garret rooms to a young Englishman named Worth, who has come to Paris to seek a place in that world of silk and satin. Speaking almost no French, practically penniless and brought to the point of starvation, he cannot find work. When he falls behind with the rent he is turned out by protective, jealous Catherine, who has detected in her young charge, Louise, the first flickers of love. But adversity is no match for Charles Worth, a man destined to change the face of fashion forever. In France during the re-establishment of the French Empire, under Prince Louis Napoleon, the great Bonaparte's nephew, a young French child named Louise yearned to reach beyond the life of a destitute orphan, in the world of seamstresses.
