Description:PREFACE. This volume of memoirs has a double character-historical and intimate. The life of a period, the XIX Century, is bound up in the life of a man, Victor Hugo. As we follow the events set forth we get the impression they made upon the mind of the extraordinary man who recounts them; and of all the personages he brings before us he himself is assuredly not the least interesting. In portraits from the brushes of Rembrandts there are always two portraits, that of the model and that of the painter. This is not a diary of events arranged in chronological order, nor is it a continuous autobiography. It is less and it is more, or rather, it is better than these. It is a sort of haphazard chronique in which only striking incidents and occurrences are brought out, and lengthy and wearisome details are avoided. Victor Hugo's long and chequered life was filled with experiences of the most diverse character-literature and politics, the court and the street, parliament and the theatre, labTable of Contents PREFACE 7; AT RHEIMS, 1825-1838 13; RECOUNTED BY EYE-WITNESSES : I THE EXECUTION OF LOUIS XVI - II THE ARRIVAL OF NAPOLEON I IN PARIS IN 18l5 -33 VISIONS OF THE REAL : I THE HOVEL - II PILLAGE - III A DREAM - IV THE PANEL WITH THE COAT OF ARMS - V THE EASTER DAISY 44 THEATRE: I JOANNY - II MADEMOISELLE MARS - III FREDERICK LEMAITRE - IV THE COMIQUES - V MADEMOISELLE GEORGES- VI TABLEAUX VIVANTS 69 AT THE ACADEMY 8$; LOVE IN PRISON 97; AT THE TUILERIES, 1844-1848 : - I THE KING- II THE DUCHESS D'ORLEANS - III THE PRINCES 119; IN THE CHAMBER OF PEERS: GEN FEBVIER 163; THE REVOLUTION OF 1848 : I THE DAYS OF FEB-; RUARY - II EXPULSIONS AND EVASIONS- III LOUIS PHILIPPE IN EXILE - IV KING JEROME- V THE DAYS OF JUNE - VI CHATEAUBRIAND - VII DEBATES ON THE DAYS OF JUNE 177; 1849: I THE JARDIN D'HIVER - II GENERAL BREA'S MURDERERS - III THE SUICIDE OF ANTONIN MOYNE - IV A VISIT TO THE OLD CHAMBER OF PEERS 263; SKETCHES MAWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
