Prince Felix Yusupov. Memoirs. Before Exile/In Exile

Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov - an aristocrat, the last of the wealthiest Yusupov family, a handsome, elegant, educated man and a master of provocation, participant in the murder of Rasputin, tells the story of his family and his own life. With tenderness and love, he writes about his mother, the famous beauty Princess Zinaida, and with respect, but restrainedly about his father - a guard officer, about his friendship with his brother and his early death.

The author captivatingly and wittily describes his tumultuous youth, the family's life in Arkhangelsk and in the capital's mansions, preparations for holidays, the decor of manors, the luxury that surrounded him from birth.

And then the revolution, the loss of all possessions, flight abroad and life in exile with all its deprivations and longing for the Motherland.
