About This Book

Le récit relate l'installation de l'auteur comme ambassadeur à Londres, ses impressions sur la ville et les mœurs anglaises, et ses premières audiences et réceptions officielles auprès de la reine et des principaux ministres. Il décrit la vie mondaine et protocolaire — dîners, soirées, le lever — tout en analysant la relation entre aristocratie et démocratie dans le système politique anglais. En parallèle, il rend compte des effets d'une crise politique française sur ses fonctions, de ses hésitations à rester en poste et de l'ouverture d'une correspondance diplomatique et politique avec des responsables en France.
