{"product_id":"saint-simon-roger-grounds-9781037108891","title":"Saint-Simon","description":"\u003cp\u003eSaint-Simon spent a lifetime seeking out scandals at the court of the Sun King, whom he thought an arrogant monster whose extravagant wars and buildings would bankrupt France and bring about the fall of the French monarchy - as it did, ultimately causing the French Revolution. He knew precisely who was who at court, whose genealogies were fake and who slept with whom and how many bastards they had and how much they drank. During the dissolute Regency that followed, he held high office but was involved in the tragic Mississippi bubble. He spent his last ten years writing his memoirs. He had the last laugh. Many who thought they were his friends would have been amazed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Grounds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1037108892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781037108891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Roger Grounds","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520409710847,"sku":"9781037108891","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0d52fa6-720e-4574-8630-5bc16750bb9b.jpg?v=1778742254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saint-simon-roger-grounds-9781037108891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
