It was a great good fortune for all of us that Maurice Pal ologue was appointed as the French Ambassador to the court at St. Petersburg mere days before the outbreak of World War I, and therefore that he had a ringside seat to events as they swept across the continent, with inside information from both the Russian and the French governments. As the principal representative of Russia's greatest ally in Europe, M. Pal ologue had easy access to all the major political figures associated with the court of Nicholas II, including Nicholas himself, the Empress Alexandra, Grand Duke Nicholas, the Montenegrin sisters, Anna Vyroubova, Foreign Minister Sazonov, and, of course, Rasputin. Better yet, Maurice Pal ologue was a profoundly 'clubbable' man (probably in more ways than one - he had a reputation for being somewhat bumptious) with a sharp eye, a witty (again in more ways than one) turn of phrase, and an ever-receptive ear for gossip. He liked nothing better than to sit down companionably with the great and good for a cozy chat, and then to tell us all about what he had learned. His pen-sketches of the people he met, his assessments of the political and military situations facing Russia and its allies, and his search for the seat of the Russian soul, make this and the next two volumes utterly riveting for anyone with a human interest in the fate of Russia as it perched on the brink of the abyss.

... C'est par sa beaut que la jeune princesse Louise de Mecklembourg-Str litz, future reine de Prusse, se produisit pour la premi re fois sur la sc ne du monde, au mois de mars 1793. Elle venait d'arriver Francfort. Malgr la tristesse des temps, la ville lectorale tait aussi anim e qu'aux grands jours des couronnements imp riaux, car la coalition y avait rassembl une foule de princes allemands, et la pr sence momentan e du roi de Prusse tait l'occasion de f tes brillantes. Un soir, au th tre, on avait vu appara tre, dans la loge de la princesse douairi re de Hesse-Darmstadt, une vision exquise de gr ce f minine et de fra cheur juv nile. Fr d ric-Guillaume II, toujours amoureux ou pr t l' tre, malgr l' ge, n'avait eu de regards que pour elle, et, devant que la com die f t termin e, avait pri qu'on la lui pr sent t. Elle s' tait alors avanc e avec une aisance si parfaite et un si charmant sourire qu'il avait t ravi et lui avait adress mille compliments. Le prince royal, qui, derri re son p re, assistait la sc ne, tait demeur silencieux, son habitude; mais son motion avait t si profonde que, sur l'instant m me, il s' tait jur de n'avoir jamais d'autre femme que celle-l ...

... Il est midi: la Manoubia, steamer de la Compagnie transatlantique, l ve l'ancre, sort lentement du port et se glisse entre les cuirass s de l'escadre anglaise mouill s en rade. On voit encore distinctement les maisons et les casernes, les rues et les squares de la ville, assise au pied du rocher qui derri re elle s' l ve, pic, de 1,300 pieds. Sur ce roc st rile, br l du soleil, h riss de batteries, les Anglais ont accumul les ressources du confort britannique et tous les perfectionnements de l' dilit moderne afin de se donner au moins l'illusion de la patrie absente. Terre, arbres et plantes, ils ont tout apport , puis ils ont rempli de verdure les crevasses du rocher et tapiss de gazon et de fleurs les talus des ouvrages fortifi s. Aussi, du haut de la passerelle, 150 brasses en mer, Gibraltar, avec ses cottages, ses villas, ses jardins et ses promenades, prend un aspect riant qui rappelle une des villes privil gi s de la c te de la Corniche. A mesure que la Manoubia s' loigne, les lignes et les teintes se confondent; quelque temps encore le factionnaire anglais appara t comme un point rouge sur le m le blanc; mais le roulement de la vague nous fait sentir que nous sommes sortis de la baie d'Alg siras, et d j nous apercevons la ligne des montagnes du Maroc, une ligne bleu cendr , noy e dans la vapeur...

This study is intended as the first biography of Maurice Paléologue, an important figure in the diplomatic history of the Third French Republic. He has never received adequate recognition or biographical attention for his role in the events surrounding the immediate outbreak of World War I and French policy towards Russia and the Balkans in 1920. This book brings to the surface the possibility of a powerful behind-the-scenes influence exerted by Paléologue to initiate and/or execute policy decisions of a controversial nature. It examines documents from the British Foreign Office and the French Foreign Ministry that were used extensively from 1907 to 1917 when Paléologue emerged from the inner depths of the departmental apparatus of the Quai d'Orsay. The material is important in illuminating and analyzing two virtually unknown chapters in Paléologue's career: his Ambassadorship to Bulgaria and his efforts to shape a comprehensive war aims agreement while at St. Petersburg. Extensive use has been made of Paléologue's varied writings, as well. Because Paléologue's thoughts and actions were consistent with one another, an analysis of the writers' ideas yields a fuller understanding of the diplomat's motives. Such a comparison between ideas and their realization is of vital significance in explaining why Paléologue engaged in intrigue, obfuscation, and insubordination in the various diplomatic posts he held. Through this analysis the reader is provided with a cohesive theory and interpretation of Paléologue's life.

First time in Black Classics for Forster's autobiographical novel of homosexual love. Maurice Hall is a young man who grows up confident in his privileged status and well aware of his role in society. Modest and generally conformist, he nevertheless finds himself increasingly attracted to his own sex. Through Clive, whom he encounters at Cambridge, and through Alec, the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate, Maurice gradually experiences a profound emotional and sexual awakening. A tale of passion, bravery and defiance, this intensely personal novel was completed in 1914 but remained unpublished until after Forster's death in 1970. Compellingly honest and beautifully written, it offers a powerful condemnation of the repressive attitudes of British society, and is at once a moving love story and an intimate tale of one man's erotic and political self-discovery.

Maurice, James Ivory’s 1987 adaptation of the E.M. Forster novel, follows an Edwardian man’s journey from the awakening of his desire for and love of men to self-acceptance. One of the most politically resistant films of the 1980s, Maurice dared to depict a young man’s coming-out story and a happy ending for its lovers, Maurice and Alec.James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant, a couple whose cinema is synonymous with period film adaptation, released Maurice during the first AIDS decade, a time of flagrant transatlantic homophobia. Criticism following its release described Ivory as a superficial and staid director, while the film was received as a regression to the uncinematic and overly faithful style that characterized the early adaptations by Merchant Ivory Productions. Offering a close reading of Forster’s novel and an analysis of Ivory’s distinctive visual style, Richard Robbins’s indelible score, and the performances of James Wilby, Hugh Grant, and Rupert Graves, David Greven argues that the film is a model of sympathetic adaptation. This study champions the film as the finest of the Merchant Ivory works, making a case for Ivory’s underappreciated talents as a director of great subtlety and intelligence, and for the film as one worth recuperating from its detractors.Understanding Maurice as a fully realized work of art and adaptation, this volume offers insight into how a stunning novel of gay love became a classic of queer film.

Set in the elegant Edwardian world of Cambridge undergraduate life, this story by a master novelist introduces us to Maurice Hall when he is fourteen. We follow him through public school and Cambridge, and on into his father's firm, Hill and Hall, Stock Brokers. In a highly structured society, Maurice is a conventional young man in almost every way, "stepping into the niche that England had prepared for him": except that his is homosexual. Written during 1913 and 1914, immediately after Howards End, and not published until 1971, Maurice was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that love between men can be happy. "Happiness," Forster wrote, "is its keynote. In Maurice I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him."

This illustrated young adult edition of a bold novel is one of defiance and bravery. As beautifully crafted as it is heartwrenching, this love story transcends time and generations.People were all around them, but with eyes that had gone intensely blue he whispered, 'I love you.'From curious schoolboy to studious scholar, Maurice Hall grows with all the confidence his privileged status allows. The path to success is measured and assured, as long as he follows the rules dictated by society. But things quickly change as he finds himself increasingly attracted to his own sex. First through Clive, a fellow student he meets at Cambridge, and then through Alec, the gamekeeper on Clive's country estate, Maurice experiences a profound emotional and sexual awakening, one which his contemporaries cannot condone. Maurice is widely considered a founding work of modern gay literature. Although completed in 1914, this groundbreaking novel could not be published in Forster's lifetime. Fittingly, it acts as a piercing critique of the suffocating ideals that permeated British society at the time. Forster himself said: 'I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.'
