Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Béranger, Vol. 1 of 1 The friends who exerted all their influence in endeavouring to persuade me to compose and bequeath to the world these personal memoirs, have frequently addressed me in the manner I have stated: and my answer, for a long time, has invariably been, "Of what value is the history of a man who has occupied no distinguished position in an age when so many have been persuaded of their own importance?" But they uniformly replied, "Your biography, written by yourself, may become the most faithful commentary of your songs." My indisposition to the task was at last overcome by their persuasions; and in this biography I consign to posterity a considerable number of personal recollections. It is requisite, however, to warn the reader, that, although the period of my life runs contemporary with the most important events of an epoch which has produced and witnessed so many, I make no pretensions to extend my narrative, and the reflections by which it is accompanied, beyond the sphere which my career, as a song-writer, naturally indicates and confines me to.
