Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Court Life in France, Vol. 1 I have taken special pleasure in the production of this new edition of Old Court Life in France, which was first published in America some twenty years ago, and which is, I trust, now entering into a new lease of life. That the same cordial welcome may follow the present edition, which was accorded to the first, is my anxious hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Court Life in France, Vol. 2 Ews came from the army announcing brilliant success. The valour Of the King was specially extolled; he was no longer a bashful, feeble prince, victimised by feminine cabals, tyrannised over by Richelieu. He had suddenly become a warrior, foremost in danger, leading his troops in person into the hottest Of the fray. Each day his absence lasted, and every fresh intelligence that arrived, added to the excitement of Louise de Lafayette. The danger to which he was exposed made her tremble. She eagerly desired his return, not for the mere pleasure Of seeing and conversing with him (though that was very dear to her), but because She was sure that the time had Come when he would himself hold the reins Of government, and display all that noble ness of character with which her romantic fancy had invested him. Such, at least, was the conviction, however delusive, of the pretty maid Of honour, who, lost in contemplation of the King's virtues, failed to perceive the state Of her own heart.

It has been termed the epoch of the true great ness of F rance, the true Renaissance of lit erature and [er beaux arts. It is indeed a period of very varied and romantic interest. Woman played an impor tant part in it - contributing largely towards the reform then achieved in the French language, and in the corrupt and gross manners of the age, and introducing into the social relations of life that peculiar grace, fascinating ease, vivacity, and undefinable charm still vainly sought for in society out of France.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern French Life, Vol. 1 of 3 The following sketches of the manners of the day in France, are selected from the works of eminent writers by an able linguist, for whom I have undertaken the task of revision. They may be accepted as a candid and accurate representation of the habits and spirit of "Modern French Life;" and it needs no exercise of trite morality to point out how widely and how offensively they differ from our own. The influence of conventional marriages on domestic happiness may be fairly judged by the exemplification of the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Courtiers and Favourites of Royalty, Vol. 1 of 2: Memoirs of the Court of France With Contemporary and Modern Illustrations Collected From the French National Archives; Memoirs of Marmontel In that eighteenth century so dissolute and so corrupt, Marmontel stands out as one of the frank faces, one of the good natures, that rest the spirit and comfort the heart He is the son of a poor tailor of Bort, and by the nonentity of his social status seems destined to lead an obscure life. Happily he has a tender, intelligent, mentally distinguished mother. This excellent woman comprehends that her son has received from nature a felicitous bent for study; she does not shrink from the greatest sacrifices to aid in its development. She is at first seconded by an old priest, the Abbe Vaissiere, who instils the first rudiments of Latin into the child; then she places her son in the Jesuits' college at Mauriac to finish his studies there. How difficult now is the life of this youth! Without money, Marmontel is obliged, in order to pay for his daily bread, to give private lessons to his more fortunate young schoolmates; finally he succeeds in obtaining an appointment as professor of philosophy with the Bernardins of Toulouse. Meanwhile he receives the tonsure. The Jesuits, keen appreciators of his talent, already seek to enroll their brilliant pupil in their order. They might have succeeded in their design, but a trivial incident occurs to ruin the project. One day, when he is essaying literary production, Marmontel resolves to send to the Floral Games an ode, On the Invention of Gunpowder, which, contrary to his expectations, obtains no success. Vexed at this rebuff, he writes to Voltaire, submitting his work to him, and complaining of "the horrible injustice of the Academy at Toulouse." The illustrious author, always kindly with beginners, consoles Marmontel, encourages him, sends him a copy of his own works, puts him in communication with Vauvenargues, and finally invites him to come to Paris, where he promises him the patronage of M. Orry, the controller-general. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Vol. 5: With a Preliminary View of the French Revolution Palace; Caulaincourt, Master of the Horse; Ber thier, Grand Huntsman, and the Compte de Se gur, a nobleman of the old court, Master of Cere monies. Thus did republican forms, at length and finally, give way to those of a court; and that nation, which no moderate or rational degree Of freedom would satisfy, now contentedly, or at least passive ly, assumed the yoke Of a military despot. France, in 1792, had been like the wild elephant in his fits of fury, when to Oppose his course is death; in 1804, she was like the same animal tamed and trained, who kneels down and suffers himself to be mounted by the soldier, whose business is to drive him into the throng of the battle. Measures were taken, as on former occasions, to preserve appearances, by Obtaining, in show at least, the Opinion of the people, on this radical change of their system.1 Government, however, were already confident of their approbation, which.

Download or read book When The World Spoke French written by Marc Fumaroli and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Review Books Original During the eighteenth century, from the death of Louis XIV until the Revolution, French culture set the standard for all of Europe. In Sweden, Austria, Italy, Spain, England, Russia, and Germany, among kings and queens, diplomats, military leaders, writers, aristocrats, and artists, French was the universal language of politics and intellectual life. In When the World Spoke French, Marc Fumaroli presents a gallery of portraits of Europeans and Americans who conversed and corresponded in French, along with excerpts from their letters or other writings. These men and women, despite their differences, were all irresistibly attracted to the ideal of human happiness inspired by the Enlightenment, whose capital was Paris and whose king was Voltaire. Whether they were in Paris or far away, speaking French connected them in spirit with all those who desired to emulate Parisian tastes, style of life, and social pleasures. Their stories are testaments to the appeal of that famous “sweetness of life” nourished by France and its language.
