Dix années d'exil

by Germaine de Staël

"Now available for the first time in English, this unabridged edition is based on the definitive French text prepared by Simone Balaye and Mariella Bonifacio. It tells the full story of Mme de Stael's flight across Europe to Moscow, just ahead of Napoleon's advancing armies. In exile, she continued to resist Napoleon, and her memoir is laced with scathing political commentary as well as acute observations on the times."--BOOK JACKET.
