Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mazarin It seems inevitable that Mazarin will always suffer by comparison with Richelieu. The latter, who has been described as the greatest political genius which France has ever produced, appeals to the imagination by the firmness and the success of his policy. The ability with which he managed the foreign affairs of France, and his creation of an administrative system which continued to the Revolution, place Richelieu in the foremost rank of French statesmen. And yet his successor, though less illustrious, equally deserves to stand among those who have contributed most to the greatness of France. What MM. Hanotaux and d´Avenel have done for Richelieu´s memory has been done for Mazarin by M. Cheruel. He has made it impossible for us to regard Mazarin as a mere Italian adventurer, or to agree with Michelet that "he was an unprincipled actor, libertine, and gambler, who subordinated every question of State policy to the meanest regard for his personal interests; a miser whose glaring avarice was without a single redeeming quality."
