Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Great Man of the Provinces in Paris You, monsieur, who, by the privilege of the Raffaelles and the Pitts, were already a great poet at an age when other men are still immature, - you have known, like Chateaubriand and all other true artists, what it is to struggle against Envy ambushed behind the columns of a newspaper, or lurking in the dark places of journalism. Therefore I desire that your victorious name should help to victory the work I now inscribe to it; a work which is, in the minds of some, an act of courage, inasmuch as it is a history of plain truth. Think you that journalists would not have found their place, like physicians, marquises, financiers, and notaries, on Moliere´s stage? Why then should the "Comedy of Human Life," which castigat ridendo mores, spare such a power when the Parisian press itself spares none?
