Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Le Duc De Morny: The Brother of an Emperor and the Maker of an Empire There are certain subjects the perusal and study of which tend to stimulate the interest of the student, and encourage him to investigate them further in hopes of throwing more light upon them, and of unearthing fresh sources of knowledge. Before taking leave of the society of the Second Empire, we thought we might still spend many happy moments in its company. We have endeavoured to sketch the physiognomy of the man who summed up in the most characteristic fashion the features and tendencies of his period. He was a man of action and a man of leisure, audacious in his undertakings, and heedless in his dilettantism. He was devoured by ambition and frivolous withal. He occupied a conspicuous position, thanks to the name he bore, but very little was known of the details of his life. Auguste de Morny, the chief coadjutor of Napoleon III. in the coup d´etat of December and the leading spirit of his reign, was without doubt the most telling personality at the Imperial Court, with the exception of the Emperor himself.
