Prince Felix Yusupov. Memoirs
19.99 €
Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov, Count Sumarokov-Elston the Younger, was a generic aristocrat whose family owned a colossal fortune. He studied at the Corps of Pages and Oxford, was bisexual and married the niece of Nicholas II. One thing everyone knows about him - he killed Rasputin. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the prince happily escaped death and spent almost half a century in exile. For the first time the full text of "Memoirs" is published in Russian, and even in such a marvelous translation that even can not believe that the Prince wrote them in French. "Memoirs" is completely devoid of author vanity: Prince Yusupov talks about himself and others with the simplicity and majesty of a true aristocrat, which does not need to report or justify. In anything ... He has a tenacious memory and a lively mind, easy syllable and a sharp eye, quirks and oddities, depth and lightness, humor and charm, brilliance and poverty. And behind the self-portrait without indulgences and complexes peeps history and is Russia - lush and vicious, crazy and dignified, paradoxical and authentic.
