Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Memoirs of Count Molé (1781-1855), Vol. 2: 1815-1817 Count Mole in private life - Ministry of the due de Richelieu - Portraits of the due de Richelieu and other Ministers. What we have already published about Count Molé has made known the politician; the pages that follow will at the same time portray the man and reveal him in a new light. One is led to regard the men of that generation as solemn personages with no other interests, apparently, than political and philosophical problems. Barricaded behind their triple cravats or portentous collars, as they appear in the portraits of Gerard, Ingres, and Ary Sheffer, they look austere, cold, insensitive, one might almost say wooden. Many of the men of mark of this period were not models of virtue; Chateaubriand, who had other interests than his "Genie du Christianisme," found in his cenacle of lady admirers a pleasant diversion from his weighty labours. The Calvinist Guizot did not fear the notoriety of brilliant liaisons, and yielded to the charm of a royal friendship. Thiers, studious bourgeois as he was, was often absent from home at night when King Louis Philippe sent for him on urgent business. Many others behaved in the same way; nor was Count Mole immune from what the world terms human frailty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
