Book excerpt: "Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (1644, Montargis ? 8 May 1712, Paris) was a French novelist, journalist, pamphleteer and memorialist. His abundant output includes short stories, gallant letters, tales of historical love affairs (Les Intrigues amoureuses de la Cour de France, 1684), historical and political works, biographies and semi-fictional "memoirs" (in the first person; his prefaces often indicate that the works were composed from papers found after the subject's death) of historical figures from the recent past (such as the Marquis de Montbrun and M. de Rochefort). His memoir-novels (Mémoires de M.L.C.D.R., 1687; Mémoires de M. d'Artagnan, 1700; Mémoires de M. de B.; 1711) describe the social and political world of Richelieu and Mazarin with a picaresque realism (spies, kidnappings, and political machinations predominate) and they were important precursors to both French picaresque novels and literary realism in the 18th century. Courtilz de Sandras is best known today for his semi-fictionalized memoirs of the famous musketeer d'Artagnan which were published in 1700 (27 years after the death of d'Artagnan) and which served as the model for Alexandre Dumas, père's portrayal of d'Artagnan in the The Three Musketeers (Fr: Les trois mousquetaires), Twenty Years After (Fr: Vingt ans après) and The Vicomte de Bragelonne (Fr: Le Vicomte de Bragelonne ou Dix ans plus tard). Courtilz de Sandras served in the army before becoming a writer. He was imprisoned several times in the Bastille where Besmaux, the former companion of d?Artagnan, was warden and it was most likely from this source that he learned the details of d'Artagnan's life."--Wikipedia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Margravine of Baireuth and Voltaire A few months ago Dr. George Horn of Berlin, sent me an interesting little volume, containing the correspondence (published for the first time) between the Margravine of Baireuth and the great French author Voltaire. The letters were interspersed with explanatory remarks and comments on them. It struck me that a translation of this volume would be a fitting sequel to that of the curious Memoirs of the Margravine, published lately by me. Having obtained the necessary permission, I now venture to make public my effort, trusting it may meet with as kind a reception as the previous one alluded to. I am quite aware that the volume is open to the criticism that it contains some repetition of matter to be found in the Memoirs, but it should be remembered that the repetition, if such has occurred, was necessary to explain certain subjects to which the letters refer. The correspondence besides, stretches over that period of the Margravine's life, of which she herself gives no account and gives us a fuller and more varied insight into her character.
