HA: [SEELANGS] La Comtesse de Segur in Russia

[Alina Israeli]

These must be the first translations. I am one of those rare people  
who grew up on her 20 volumes (actually -1, I did not like the  
Mémoires d'un âne)  in Leningrad, and if those books existed in  
Russian I would have known. There was also "Les enfants des  
Tuileries" by her daughter, vicontesse de Pitray, and in that book  
there was a character Madame de Gursay (I don't remember the  
spelling, but it's the inversion of Ségur). There were other such  
name inversions there, I think there was Mme de Trépis in Ségur,  
which is Pitray.
