Capturing eloquent observations of the Napoleonic period's most politically outspoken woman, this edition of Dix Annu00e9es du00b4Exil is the powerful memoir of Germaine de Stau00eblu00b4s tumultuous years fleeing Napoleon. Translated by an awardwinning scholar, Ten Years of Exile is the only unabridged English edition of this strongminded and passionate womanu00b4s personal and political journal.During the French Revolution, Mme. de Stau00eblu00b4s salon became a brilliant center of political and intellectual life. Stau00ebl herself helped to introduce Napoleon to French society, yet like other liberals in the Constitutional Club, she soon came to oppose the increasingly powerful general. He in turn banished her from Paris in 1803 for her liberal ideas.In exile, Stau00ebl continued to agitate against the new master of France. When Napoleon began his great Russian campaign, she fled across Austria and Poland to avoid his advancing armies. She arrived in Moscow only weeks ahead of Napoleon and then barely escaped to England. After Napoleonu00b4s defeat, Stau00ebl returned to Paris and again received ministers, generals, and sovereigns in her revived salon.As the author of beloved novels and widely read works on literature, history, and politics, Stau00ebl knew and corresponded with many of the leading intellectuals and politicians of her day, including Talleyrand, Schiller, and Goethe. Her memoir provides penetrating insights into the society of Napoleonic Europe and vivid portraits of the leading figures of the age, including the emperor himself.Based upon the definitive 1996 French text edited by Simone Balayu00e9 and Mariella Bonifacio, this edition includes a new introduction by Simone Balayu00e9 and Avriel Goldberger. Supplemented with notes, a chronology, and a map of de Stau00eblu00b4s dramatic flight across Europe, Ten Years of Exile will intrigue readers interested in biography, French history, womenu00b4s studies, political and intellectual history, literature, and the Age of Napoleon.
