| Publisher Description: Delightful and intelligent, this book recalls Europe before and after the French Revolution and details how modern republics were established, all through the lens of personal memories. Charles Victor de Bonstetten was 86 years old when he wrote these memoirs, and the critical, vehement spirit of 18th- and 19th-century European literary salons is expressed by seductive prose and charm. Sections about some of the era's most prominent figures, from Voltaire to Pope Clement XIV, together with a polished, clear analysis of Europe at that time, are written with humor and without judgment. "Delicioso e inteligente, este libro evoca la Europa previa y posterior a la Revolucion francesa y detalla como se constituyeron las republicas modernas, todo contado a traves de recuerdos personales. Charles Victor de Bonstetten tenia 86 anos cuando escribio esta recopilacion de memorias, y el espiritu critico y vehemente de los salones literarios de la Europa de los siglos XVIII y XIX es expresado mediante una prosa seductora y un sentimiento encantador. Las secciones sobre algunas de las figuras mas destacadas de la epoca, desde Voltaire hasta el Papa Clemente XIV, junto a un rotundo y lucido analisis de la Europa de entonces, son escritas con humor y sin juicio." |
