Title : Memoirs of a Eunuch in the Forbidden City - Shi Dan - book Summary : Yu Chunhe, a eunuch in the palace of Empress Xiaoding, gives us this exceptional account of the daily lives of castrati and their masters. Entering the Forbidden City in 1898 at the age of seventeen, he spent eighteen terrible years there, marked by the war against foreigners, the exile of the court to Xian, the revolution, and the fall of the empire. His memoirs, rich in intrigue and acerbic portraits of court insiders, teach us much more than an official history book. An edifying description of the morals of an era, its decadence and corruption, Memoirs of a Eunuch in the Forbidden City constitutes a unique historical document, but is above all the moving account of the tragic fate of a teenager sold to the child traffickers of Beijing who supplied the imperial palace with eunuchs. Yu Chunhe reveals what has often been hidden about the private lives of these innocents, forcibly castrated and then imprisoned within the walls of the Forbidden City where they were treated as slaves according to the whim of their masters.

Title : Mother and Daughter - Françoise Dolto - book Summary : It seems to me that there will surely come a day when you will forget your disappointments as an educator in front of your daughter who wrongly seems to you to be in opposition to you and who is only different, with the gifts that you have given her, who loves you and esteems you at the same time as a daughter can towards her mother and towards a woman whom she judges at her worth." This letter of September 28, 1935 from Françoise Dolto to her mother Suzanne Marette is edifying. The relationship between the two women has always been complex and their correspondence over nearly fifty years bears witness to this. But thanks to her work and psychoanalysis, Françoise Dolto was able to cross the "halo of hostile opacity" which kept her prisoner with her mother. And she did so, as she never ceases to repeat and write to her, feeling great compassion for her mother whose suffering as a daughter she understood.

Title : Memoirs of a Lower Breton Peasant - Jean-Marie Deguignet - book Summary : Jean-Marie Déguignet's "Memoirs" constitute a major social and human document on rural life in the 19th century. A man among men, he nevertheless had an exceptional destiny: a farm worker in the heart of Finistère, a soldier in Lorient, engaged in the Crimean and Italian wars of the Second Empire, witness to the catastrophic Mexican adventure, a tobacconist, a pauper in Quimper, dying in a hospice. The journal he kept throughout his life remains unequaled in the annals of time. It is that of a tormented man, an anticlerical and an anarchist slayer of conservatism. A prophet too, who foresaw the destruction of traditional societies. It is in this sense that his testimony, as gripping as an adventure novel, is also a saga of the human condition.

Title : Memoirs, volume 1 - Saint-Simon, Yves Coirault - book Summary : This Princess of Harcourt was a kind of character that it is good to make known, to make known more particularly a court that did not cease to receive such. She had been very beautiful and gallant; although she was not old, the graces and beauty had turned into arse-scratching.

She was a blond fury, and a harpy to boot..." EAN: 9782070382347 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : War Memoirs The Call 1940 1942 - Charles de Gaulle - book Summary : In 1939, when war broke out, a colonel had already been proclaiming in the desert for five years that it was already lost.
