Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Imperial Lover Twenty years had passed since my last visit to Moscow, a visit made memorable by my marriage with Zénafde Ramodanofsky. For many reasons we did not return to Russia until, in the spring of 1703, the King of France said to me: "M. de Brousson, there is no one else whom I care to send to Moscow on a delicate mission. You have married a Russian, you know Russia and the czar. In short, monsieur, I desire that you should go." The year before the king my master had bestowed upon me the baton of a marshal of France, a reward for my services with the Marquis de Villars at the victory of Friedlingen. The king´s favors to me had been conspicuous; owing him so much, I owed him also a ready obedience to his wishes, although this second mission to Moscow was far from acceptable. The king desired to have some one at the Russian Court to watch the vicissitudes of the northern war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
