Alexander von Tilly (1764-1816) z�hlt zu den schillerndsten Pers�nlichkeiten und den gr��ten Abenteurern seiner Epoche. Auf �u�erst am�sante Weise erz�hlt der Spross einer ber�hmten normannischen Adelsfamilie seine turbulente Lebensgeschichte. Er schildert seine Zeit am Hof der K�nigin Marie Antoinette, seine sp�tere Laufbahn als Offizier bei den Dragonern von Noailles und seine zahlreichen Reisen, unter anderem nach Deutschland, England und Amerika. Die �u�ert lebendigen Beschreibungen historischer Pers�nlichkeiten wie Ludwig XVI., Marie Antoinette, Josef II., Herzog von Orleans sind ebenso unterhaltsam wie treffend. "Seine Schilderungen des H�flings- und besonders des Liebeslebens eines Galanthomme des ancien r�gime sind, als Ganzes genommen, eines der gl�nzendsten Kulturgem�lde der vorrevolution�ren Zeit: ein Bild, das uns in wundervoller Plastik die geniale Liederlichkeit der damaligen Gesellschaft vor Augen f�hrt, ihre verpuffenden Kontraste, ihr Hochfliegertum, ihr tumultuarisches Tohuwabohu, das schlie�lich notgedrungen zu g�nzlicher Aufl�sung f�hren mu�te." (Fedor von Zobeltitz)
