A unique work in two volumes covering life in Paris from the reign of Louis Philippe to the hedonistic period of the Second Empire. One man's recollection of the events and the main players (including Louis, Napoleon and Eugenie) during this changing period gives an intriguing and personal perspective into the life and personalities of those in both high and not so high places. An interesting read for anyone and an invaluable reference for researchers.
