Groomed from an early age to assume the role of a rich man's mistress, Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson underwent several transformations before she caught the heart of the king himself. Although accustomed to the king's extramarital relationships, the court was shocked at the sudden ascension of the low-born Mademoiselle Poisson. The newcomer, however, wasted no time in establishing herself as the king's sole confidante and, ultimately, his indispensable partner in affairs of state. The critically acclaimed author of Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, Christine Pevitt Algrant traces Madame de Pompadour from her modest beginnings in early-eighteenth-century Paris to her reign as the undisputed mistress of Versailles. Filled with photographs, and evocative and insightful in its telling, Madame de Pompadour is a seductive portrait of one of the most fascinating and influential women of the age.</div> 642986 2002 Madame de Pompadour: Mistress of France total:30|5:6|4:8|3:13|2:2|1:1| 30 106 77 9 3 0 false false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 08:58:33 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 13:23:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 07:19:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 13:09:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 05:25:34 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 06:53:58 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 02 07:09:51 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 07:11:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 05:22:28 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 11:17:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 26 09:23:15 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 26 09:24:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Jul 02 02:55:45 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 03:00:54 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Wed Jun 04 19:46:46 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 19:49:26 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Apr 17 09:43:42 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 17 09:44:47 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 04:44:34 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 04:44:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 19:58:21 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 19:58:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 20:28:55 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 20:28:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 11:44:39 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 11:44:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 21 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Sep 22 22:08:46 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 21:23:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 03 14:31:59 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 14:31:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 01:10:22 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 01:10:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 08:19:23 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 08:19:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 18 05:29:10 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 05:29:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 22:11:38 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 22:11:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 18:29:33 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 18:29:53 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=656898
