The work focuses on the extraordinary life of Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Eon de Beaumont, a figure known for his dual existence as both a diplomat and a woman, exploring themes of identity, ambition, and the complexities of 18th-century French nobility. This biography provides insight into his remarkable adventures, notably his involvement in secret diplomacy and military service during a tumultuous period in French history. The opening of the book introduces d’Eon, emphasizing his character and early life, including his ambitions and intellectual pursuits. It details his rise from humble beginnings in Tonnerre to becoming a key player in diplomatic relations between France and Russia, particularly during the reign of Louis XV. His initial accomplishments in the diplomatic service set a foundation for his later adventures where he would famously adopt a female persona, a transformation that was both strategic and scandalous in the context of his life. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for an exploration of d'Eon's multifaceted identity and life experiences that challenge societal norms of his time.
