Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-1798) wrote a long memoir recounting his life and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famous people, including kings and writers, his memoir has become a valuable historical source about European society in the eighteenth century. However, some critics have raised doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. They claim that the Chevalier distorted or invented many events in the memoir to make his life seem more exciting and glamorous than it really was.
For example, in his memoir the Chevalier claims that while living in Switzerland, he was very wealthy, and it is known that he spent a great deal of money there on parties and gambling. However, evidence has recently surfaced that the Chevalier borrowed considerable sums of money from a Swiss merchant. Critics thus argue that if the Chevalier had really been very rich, he would not have needed to borrow money.
Critics are also skeptical about the accuracy of the conversations that the Chevalier records in the memoir between himself and the famous writer Voltaire. No one doubts that the Chevalier and Voltaire met and conversed. However, critics complain that the memoir cannot possibly capture these conversations accurately, because it was written many years after the conversations occurred. Critics point out that it is impossible to remember exact phrases from extended conversations held many years earlier.
Critics have also questioned the memoir's account of the Chevalier's escape from a notorious prison in Venice, Italy. He claims to have escaped the Venetian prison by using a piece of metal to make a hole in the ceiling and climbing through the roof. Critics claim that while such a daring escape makes for enjoyable reading, it is more likely that the Chevaliers jailers were bribed to free him. They point out that the Chevalier had a number of politically well-connected friends in Venice who could have offered a bribe.
Word Count:
The reading states that Chevailer's memoir is very skeptical and would not happen that actually he recorded his memoir and it is very exciting and enhance than it really was. However, the lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He explains that author's claims are not convincing and have a reliable source that the memoir of Chevalier is true and the lecturer refutes each of the author's claims.
First of all, the author of the reading argues that While chevaier memoir assert that he was waelthy,
when he lived in Swizerland and spent great money on parties and gamblin but resent evidence reveals that he had borrowed resonable ammount of money from Swiss murchant, thus cirits speculated about the Chavaler wealthyness. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that Loan from murchant does not mean that he was poor. Moreover, the lecturer says that since he spent lot of money on party or gambling, he had selling his wealthy and get some money and
to transfer his money into cash, he acutally borrow some money.
Secondly, The reading posits that Although have no doubt that Chevalier and volaire met and conversed but it could not possible to accurately added these conversation in the memoir. In addition, redader says that it is impossible to memorize every details from extended conversation through many years from earlier. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim that resent research suggested that Chevalier noted down every night after to end of conversation between him and Voltaire. Furthermore, the elcturer says that after many years later to continueing and noted this conversation then he recorded in the memoir.
Finally, the reading asserts that The Chavailer's escaped from a notorious prison in venince
is very belie because he had a lot of political friend and his friends actually helps to him bride,
thus his escaping story in memori is questionable. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that
not only him , other prisoners also have a lots of political friendsbut they could not have bride them
.To elaborate on this point the lecturer says that venice jail havepulished a report of their reformtation of their jailand mention various reforming about the celling escape, thus it would possible that Chavalier escape from the prison by using ametal to make a hole.
