Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bourdaloue and Louis XIV: Or the Preacher and the King The life of a contemporary man of letters, a simple minister in the church of Geneva, can, of course, afford no spirit-stirring events. Nor, in default of materials for political or historical interest, is the biographer at liberty to reveal those secret chronicles of the mind, to record those mighty, mysterious strifes and triumphs on the heart´s silent battle field, the narrative of which is often more thrilling far, and more instructive, than a nations annals or the doom of heroes; discretion must draw her veil over the bosom-feelings of one who lives amongst us. Yet, when works have fascinated the attention, a natural desire is felt to know something of their author; curiosity and gratitude are alike excited respecting one who has increased our intellectual store; soothed, perhaps, the languor of disease, or charmed our grief away; and, if fact be not at hand to show the moral portraiture we demand, fancy will do her sober sister´s task, and embody our vague conjectures and presentiments in a form of her own. The present slight sketch offers, therefore, no apology for its meagreness and monotony; it comes in. response to a pressing appeal for correct information respecting the author "of The Preacher and the King," "The Priest and the Huguenot," works which have captivated a public not often seduced to bestow its favor on foreign candidates for literary fame. Laurekce Louis Felix Bongener was born at Marseilles, the 29th of September, 1814, the eventful year which, by banishing the Corsican to Elba, was to begin for Prance a new era of peace and prosperity.
