Beschreibung

Print on Demand. Two friends recount their unsettling experience visiting the Petit Trianon, a small chateau on the grounds of Versailles once favored by Marie Antoinette. Their separate accounts detail inexplicable sights and sounds, including encounters with strangely dressed individuals and an overwhelming sense of melancholy that permeates the very air. Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand their unnerving encounter, the friends embark on a meticulous investigation, meticulously combing through historical records and meticulously comparing their experiences to documented accounts of the era. Their research uncovers fascinating details about the chateau's history, including the presence of a long-forgotten plough and the specific uniforms worn by the guards during Marie Antoinette's time. As their investigation deepens, the lines between past and present begin to blur, leaving the friends to grapple with the possibility that they may have stumbled upon a lingering echo of the queen's final days at Trianon. This book delves into the enigmatic and captivating realm of memory and history, leaving readers to ponder the enduring power of the past and its potential to manifest in unexpected ways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from An Adventure: With Appendix and Maps

IT is a great venture to speak openly of a personal experience, and we only do so for the following reasons. First, we prefer that our story, which is known in part to some, should be wholly known as told by ourselves. Secondly, we have collected so much evidence on the subject, that it is possible now to consider it as a whole. Thirdly, conditions are changing at Versailles, and in a short time facts which were unknown, and circum stances which were unusual, may soon become commonplaces, and will lose their force as evidence that some curious psychological con ditions must have been present, either in ourselves, or in the place.
