French writer and literary and art critic Edmond-Louis-Antoine Huot de Goncourt published books and founded the Académie Goncourt. His brother is Jules de Goncourt.
Knjiga, generalno, nije loša, ali svako ko od nje očekuje klasični roman biće razočaran stilom naracije. Subjektivni utisak je kao da sam čitala magistarski rad na temu: ,,Uticaj madam De Pompadur na politička zbivanja u Francuskoj za vreme vladavine kralja Luja XV". Ocena 3+.
A pretty amusing biography of Mme. de Pompadour’s life. It was intelligently written without losing its comedic edge. The author’s analysis of these high-society French nobles was both enlightening and oftentimes hilarious. A throughly enjoyable read for those curious about French history or the niche interest of nobility in pre-revolutionary France.
