"This compelling new biography of the legendary mistress of King Louis XV of France offers a dramatic insight into the life of one of the most enchanting, powerful, and feared women to grace the world's stage. The critically acclaimed author of Philippe, duc d'Orleanes, Christine Pevitt Algrant presents a new biography of the most famous of Louis XV's mistresses. From her modest beginnings in early eighteenth-century Paris, to her reign as the undisputed mistress of Versailles, Madame de Pompadour traces the life of a truly remarkable, self-made woman whose astonishing rise confounded the most experienced and the most sophisticated of her contemporaries. Algrant weaves her richly textured manuscript with tremendous authority, setting the dramatic events that marked Madame de Pompadour's life against the defining moments of the times. Groomed from an early age to assume the role of a rich man's mistress, Jeanne-Antoinett Poisson underwent a number of transformations -- from a halfhearted marriage to a Parisian tax collector to a lifelong involvement with the financial elite of France -- before she captivated the king himself and was officially recognized as his maitress declaree. Although accustomed to the king's extramarital relationships, the court was shocked at the sudden ascension of the low-born Mademoiselle Poisson. The newcomer, howeveer, wasted no time, quickly establishing herself as the king's sole confidante and, ultimately, his indispensable partner in affairs of state. Algrant takes the reader into the farthest and most exclusive chambers at Versailles, allowing us to glimpse the resourcefulness and the determination with which the king's favorite deftly manipulated the factions at the court. She also illuminates Madame de Pompadour's influence across the artistic and political spectrum of the day, including her relationships with the leaders of the French Enlightenment: Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot. Evocative and insightful, Madame de Pompadour is a seductive portrait of one of the most fascinating and influential women of the age." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

In den WarenkorbCloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Reprint. Hardback. In a fine slip case. This volume describes in words and picture the prodigious richness, the complexity, and the extraordinary adaptions, of the tropical flora. The many beautiful illustrations give examples of the more typical and striking aspects of the infinity of graceful, bizarre, and monstrous forms that the plant kingdom has assembled in the tropics. These include huge flowers, exotix orchids, and weid plants that live on insect life. Contrasts in climate, altitude, and soil are extreme, ranging from equotorial rain forests, to park-life savannahs, deciduous forests, thorny scrubs, and finally to desert steppes. For the sake of clairty an attempt has been made to divide the nuermous types of vegetation into four groups. To complete the description of the tropical world the main characteristics of animal life has been included. Finally, an examination is made of man's devastations in the tropical world: the decimation od animal and bird life, destruction of the forests and the effects of erosion. The three authors are acknowleged experts. With eighty photogravure plates, sixteen coloured plates with thirty-four colour photographs, and text illustrations. 208 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
