Synopsis

Excerpt from Oeuvres Complètes de M. Le Vicomte de Chateaubriand, Membre de l'Académie Françoise, Vol. 2: Essais sur les Révolutions, Tome I

Qu'il faille en gémir ou s'en féliciter, mes écrits ont teint de leur couleur grand nombre des écrits de mon temps. Mon nom depuis vingt - cinq années, se trouve mêlé aux mouvements de l'ordre social il s'attache au règne de Buonaparte, au rétablisse ment des autels, à celui de la monarchie légitime, à la fondation de la monarchie constitutionnelle. Les uns repoussent ma personne, mais prêchent mes doctrines, et s'emparent de ma politique en la dénaturant; les autres s'arrangeroient de ma per sonne si je consentois à la séparer de mes principes. Les plus grandes affaires ont passé par mes mains. J'ai connu presque tous les rois, presque tous les hommes, ministres ou autres, qui ont joué un rôle de mon temps. Présenté à Louis XVI, j'ai vu Washington au début de ma carriere, et je suis retombé à la fin sur ce que je vois aujourd'hui.

Plusieurs fois Buonaparte me menaça de sa colère et de sa puissance, et cependant il étoit entraîné par un secret penchant vers moi, comme je res sentais une involontaire admiration de ce qu'il y avoit de grand en lui. J'aurois tout été dans son gouvernement si je l'avois voulu; mais il m'a tou jours manqué pour réussir une passion et un vice l'ambition et l'hypocrisie.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the historical, political, and moral revolutions that swept the globe from 1789 to 1815, seen through the personal transformation of the author. The author, a young man who had been forced to flee France during the revolution, saw firsthand the rise and fall of empires. He returned to France after Napoleonâs defeat, and began to question his previous beliefs. The book, first published in 1797, caused a great deal of controversy but has never been out of print. It is considered a classic of French literature and a valuable contribution to the history of political thought. The author's insights into the nature of revolution and the importance of individual liberty remain relevant to this day.
