Lost Splendour
By
Prince Felix Youssoupoff
Published by The Folio Society: London 1996 1st FS Edition
"Prince Felix Youssoupoff's Lost Splendour is an extraordinary firsthand account of Imperial Russia's final years, written by one of its most infamous aristocrats — the man who helped assassinate Rasputin. In this richly detailed memoir, Youssoupoff recalls a life of immense privilege, describing the glittering world of tsarist courts, grand estates, and opulent society before the Bolshevik Revolution swept it all away. His narrative moves from childhood luxury to the fateful night of Rasputin's murder, capturing both the decadence and decay of the Romanov era with striking candour and drama.
Includes sleeve with light staining. Clean and unmarked. Very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
