About this ebook
Comtesse de Segur
Sophie Rostopchine, comtesse de Ségur, née Sofia Fiodorovna Rostoptchina est une femme de lettres française d'origine russe. Elle est la fille du gouverneur de Moscou, Rostopchine, qui, en 1812, mit le feu à la ville pour faire reculer Napoléon. Arrivée en France à l âge de dix-sept ans, elle épouse, trois ans plus tard, le comte de Ségur qui lui donnera huit enfants. Elle commence à écrire à l âge de cinquante-cinq ans, alors qu'elle est déjà grand-mère. Son mari aurait rencontré dans un train Louis Hachette qui cherchait alors de la littérature pour distraire les enfants. Eugène de Ségur, alors Président des Chemins de Fer. Celle-ci signe son premier contrat en octobre 1855 pour seulement 1 000 francs. Le succès de ce premier ouvrage l'encourage à poursuivre.
