Description du livre
Amidst the ferment of pre-Revolution Russia appeared the beautiful woman who was to change history by bringing a decadent court to its knees. Beginning with her unleashing of Count Asinia's insatiable passion, through leather-costume balls at Mademoiselle Charmier's St. Petersburg Club, and on to aphrodisiacal gatherings at the palace of the Grand Duke Maxim, Princess Natasha exerted her indomitable will over others in an ever-varied version of "the agony and the ecstasy."
