Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of the Empress Eugénie The writer of the following pages, M. Augustin Filon, was a well-known French man of letters and the author of a number of works of fiction, as well as of many articles, reviews and books on contemporary English politics, art and literature. A sympathetic observer and critic of our country, where he had made his home after the revolution of 1870, he greatly helped to make England understood by his countrymen, and may thus be counted among the most useful pioneers of the Entente Cordiale. Born in 1841, in Paris, he took up teaching as a profession after a brilliant school and University career, and for some years lectured in the Lycees of Nice and Grenoble. In 1867 he was selected by the then Minister of Education, M. Victor Duruy, to supervise the education of the Prince Imperial, a task to which he devoted his whole time and energy until 1875, when, the Prince being now of age, M. Filon left the Imperial household and married shortly afterwards. During those eight years he was in constant and intimate contact, not only with the Prince, but also with the Emperor and Empress, the latter of whom especially reposed in him an affectionate trust and kept up friendly relations which were broken only by death. During the Empress´s Regency in 1870 M. Filon acted as her private secretary, and he was therefore able to speak of the political events of that time with authority and first-hand knowledge.
