Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contemporary France, Vol. 1 To introduce M. Gabriel Hanotaux to Frenchmen would be superfluous; his name is already well known in his own country as that of a leading statesman and an author of high reputation. In England he is chiefly known as a Minister of Foreign Affairs who smoothed the path of diplomacy during the troubled period of the wars between Turkey and Greece, Spain and the United States of America. He also took an active part in settling questions as to delimitation of frontier in North Africa which had arisen between France and England; during his period of office the Madagascar expedition was decided upon. Born in 1854, M. Hanotaux is still a comparatively young man, but he has behind him a political and literary career upon which older men would be entitled to look back with complacency. He is still engaged upon a monumental life of Cardinal Richelieu which has already won for him the Gobert prize, the highest honour which can be bestowed by the French Academy; since 1897 he has been an Academician.
