My life with the Countess of Ségur by Caroline Eliacheff: the great modernity of Sophie Rostopchine. A work at the confluence of essay and autobiography on the woman of letters of Russian origin.
Readers of Sophie's Misfortunes know that the mischievous little girl, queen of mischief, martyred by her stepmother, is her childish double. Mauriac adored her, Marguerite Yourcenar hated her. De Gaulle was one of those writers that we often read as a child.
