About the Book

Les caprices de Gizelle par la Comtesse de Ségur

Sophie Rostopchine, comtesse de Ségur (selon l'onomastique russe Sofia Fiodorovna Rostoptchina), est une femme de lettres française d'origine russe, née le 1 août 1799 (le 19 juillet du calendrier julien alors en vigueur en Russie) à Saint-Pétersbourg, morte le 9 février 1874 à Paris.

  1. Elle est issue d'une grande famille de la noblesse russe dont la généalogie remonte aux khans mongols de la Horde d'or et à la famille de Genghis Khan.

  2. Son père est le comte Fiodor Rostopchine (1763-1826), qui a été lieutenant-général d'infanterie, ministre des Affaires étrangères du tsar Paul I (parrain de Sophie), puis gouverneur général de Moscou. Sa mère est née comtesse Catherine Protassova, ancienne demoiselle d'honneur de Catherine II. Sophie est la troisième enfant du couple.

  3. Elle passe son enfance dans le domaine de Voronovo près de Moscou, propriété de 45 000 ha où travaillent 4 000 serfs, où le comte Rostopchine fait venir des agronomes écossais.

  4. Elle reçoit l'éducation des enfants de l'aristocratie russe qui privilégie l'apprentissage des langues étrangères, du français en premier lieu. Adulte, elle sera une polyglotte maîtrisant cinq langues.

  5. C'est aussi une petite fille turbulente, souvent punie par ses parents et houspillée par sa mère. Influencée par Joseph de Maistre, ministre plénipotentiaire du roi de Sardaigne auprès du tsar, et par les jésuites, la comtesse Rostopchine se convertit de l'orthodoxie au catholicisme. Sophie, depuis l'âge de treize ans, est élevée dans la religion catholique, contre l'avis de son père resté orthodoxe.

  6. En 1812, lors de l'invasion de la Russie par la Grande Armée, son père est gouverneur de Moscou. Il lance des pamphlets contre Napoléon, fait évacuer les pompes à incendie et libère des prisonniers avec la mission de mettre le feu chacun à un quartier. L'incendie de Moscou qui en résulte, qui fera dire à Sophie J'ai vu comme une aurore boréale sur la ville , contraint Napoléon à une retraite désastreuse.

  7. La réussite de ce plan entraîne cependant l'hostilité de ceux qui ont perdu leur habitation, aristocrates comme commerçants, si bien que Fédor Rostopchine, disgracié par le tsar, préfère s'exiler, seul avec simplement un domestique, en Pologne en 1814, puis en Allemagne, en Italie et, enfin, en France en 1817. Dans tous ces pays, il est accueilli en héros, sauveur de la monarchie.
