Pierre Beaumarchais (1732-1799) was a French polymath who rose in French society and became influential in the court of Louis XV as an inventor and music teacher. He made a number of important business and social contacts, and played various roles as a diplomat and spy. An early French supporter of American independence, Beaumarchais lobbied the French government on behalf of the American rebels during the American War of Independence. Before France officially entered the war in 1778, Beaumarchais played a major role in delivering French munitions, money and supplies to the American army._x000D_ Volume 1:_x000D_ Early life_x000D_ First Financial Successes_x000D_ Business Negotiations in Spain_x000D_ Beaumarchais's Return from Madrid_x000D_ The Famous Memoirs of Beaumarchais_x000D_ Beaumarchais Goes to London in Quality of Secret Agent of Louis XV_x000D_ Beaumarchais's Second Mission Under Louis XVI_x000D_ Playing Figaro upon the Stage of Life_x000D_ Visits the Empress of Austria_x000D_ The Character of Figaro_x000D_ The First Performance of Le Barbier de Séville_x000D_ Founder of the First Society of Dramatic Authors..._x000D_ Volume 2:_x000D_ Beaumarchais's Earliest Activities in the Cause of American Independence_x000D_ First Steps of the Government of France_x000D_ Beaumarchais's Memoirs to the King_x000D_ Beaumarchais's English Connections_x000D_ Memoirs Explaining to the King the Plan of His Commercial House_x000D_ Suspicions of England Aroused Through Indiscretions of Friends of America_x000D_ The Declaration of Independence and Its Effect in Europe_x000D_ Beaumarchais's Activity in Getting Supplies to America_x000D_ Letters to Congress_x000D_ The Mariage de Figaro_x000D_ House of Beaumarchais Searched_x000D_ Declared an Emigré_x000D_ Confiscation of his Goods_x000D_ Imprisonment of his Family_x000D_ The Ninth Thermidor Comes to Save Them_x000D_ Beaumarchais After his Return from Exile_x000D_ Correspondence with Bonaparte_x000D_ Pleads for Lafayette Imprisoned_x000D_ Death of Beaumarchais...

Book excerpt: "This delightful rogue of many talents set up a company to front for the French and Spanish regimes secretly supplying weapons, munitions, clothing and food to the struggling rebels."--American HistoryThe outrageous true story of the French plot to supply arms and ammunition to Washington's Continental Army, and the bold French spy, inventor, playwright, and rogue behind it allPierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was an eighteenth-century French inventor, famed playwright, and upstart near-aristocrat in the court of King Louis XVI. In 1776, he conceived an audacious plan to send aid to the American rebels. What's more, he convinced the king to bankroll the project, and singlehandedly carried it out. By war's end, he had supplied Washington's army with most of its weapons and powder, though he was never paid or acknowledged by the United States.To some, he was a dashing hero--a towering intellect who saved the American Revolution. To others, he was pure rogue--a double-dealing adventurer who stopped at nothing to advance his fame and fortune. In fact, he was both, and more: an advisor to kings, an arms dealer, and author of some of the most enduring works of the stage, including The Marriage of Figaro and The Barber of Seville.
