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 Revolución francesa y detalla cómo se constituyeron las repúblicas modernas, todo contado a través de recuerdos personales. Charles Victor de Bonstetten tenÃa 86 años cuando escribió esta recopilación de memorias, y el espÃritu crÃtico 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 más destacadas de la época, desde Voltaire hasta el Papa Clemente XIV, junto a un rotundo y lúcido análisis de la Europa de entonces, son escritas con humor y sin juicio.
