About this book
Vienna in 1814 and 1815, when sovereigns, diplomats and nobles gathered to remake Europe after Napoleon's fall, is seen through the memories of the Comte de La Garde-Chambonas. This English edition appeared in London in 1902, with an introduction and notes by the Comte Fleury.
Rather than treaty talks, the chapters follow social life around them: masked balls, a grand military fête, a tournament, hunts at Laxemburg, amateur theatricals and a reception at Talleyrand's. The Prince de Ligne, remembered for his wit, appears often, along with Emperor Alexander, Queen Hortense, and the Duc de Richelieu.
