Title : Letters - Madame de Sévigné - book
Summary :
In 1671, the departure for Provence of her daughter - the Countess of Grignan - drove Madame de Sévigné to despair. So, to fill the absence, she entered into correspondence with her as one enters into religion. She told her everything, the most significant events as well as the most trivial, the most serious as well as the most trivial: the war in Holland, the trial of Foucquet, the suicide of Vatel, the fire at a neighbor's house, and even the latest hairstyle in vogue in Paris. Chronicles of an era of which the Marquise was a privileged witness, the letters are also, and above all, a writing of the intimate, the journal of a conscience that is told day by day. Posterity has not been mistaken, which has established this correspondence as a model of its genre.
