Book Description
Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women Metternich's memoirs are therefore famous; his estimates of Napoleon and other contemporaries have become classic. Yet there is a narrowness about all his views, the craftiness of the aged politician shows everywhere in his judgments; and, as men ventured to say even in his own day of repression, if Europe had only been saved from Napoleon to be handed over to Metternich, it might just as well have been left un saved.

The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong

Book Description
Lady Hyegyong's memoirs, which recount the chilling murder of her husband by his father, form one of the best known and most popular classics of Korean literature. From 1795 until 1805 Lady Hyegyong composed this masterpiece, depicting a court life Shakespearean in its pathos, drama, and grandeur. Presented in its social, cultural, and historical contexts, this first complete English translation opens a door into a world teeming with conflicting passions, political intrigue, and the daily preoccupations of a deeply intelligent and articulate woman. JaHyun Kim Haboush's accurate, fluid translation captures the intimate and expressive voice of this consummate storyteller. Reissued nearly twenty years after its initial publication with a new foreword by Dorothy Ko, The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong is a unique exploration of Korean selfhood and an extraordinary example of autobiography in the premodern era.
