Mémoires de Frédérique Sophie Wilhelmine de Prusse, margrave de Bareith. Tome 1

A striking voice from the heart of 18th‑century Prussia, the memoirs of a margrave‑daughter unfold from 1706 to 1742. She writes with a frank, biting wit, turning the intimate dramas of court, family and politics into vivid sketches that spare no one—not even her own father, brothers or sisters. The narrative feels like a private conversation, where conventions are tossed aside and each observation is rendered with unmistakable clarity.

Beyond the palace walls she corresponded with the era’s leading thinkers—Frederick the Great, Voltaire and other luminaries—offering a rare window into the intellectual currents that shaped her world. This new edition extends her story to 1758, weaving in authentic letters and documents that reveal the emotional currents beneath her sharp exterior. Listeners will discover a woman of intellect and feeling, navigating love, rivalry and duty while leaving an indelible imprint on the cultural landscape of her time.
