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 Chevalier’s 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.
he reading passage and the lecturer talking about Chevalier de Seingalt’s memories accuracy. However, some evidence have casted doubts about how exactly his memories were. They claim that the Chevalier faked numerous events in the memoir to make his life be more stunning and much better than how it really was.
The first allegation of the script against which the orator that Chevalier’s life was unworthy. The Critics who suggested that the fact, Chevalier barrow his money from one of the merchants, he was pretend that he had a lot of money. In contrast to the narrator which she insist that Chevalier was rich and he spent his money on holding parties and gambling as well. But in fact, she claimed that he run out the cash, so he was looking for some cash to barrow from the merchant because it takes time to convert his assets and getting cash instead.
The reading passage poses that there is cast doubt about another kind of diaries when Chevalier met a famous writer long time ago. However, it considers impossible that Chevalier still remember the details of a long conversation happened plethora of years ago. The aerator said that Chevalier had wrote his memories every night following that conversation. She also states that while writing the memoir the information from the written journal were used.
Lastly, another memories of Chevalier when he run away from a jail in Italy. Critics who’s claimed that Chevalier has numerous Italian Friends in politic department and they helped him to be free. The professor oppose this by stating that inside the jail there were a lot of powerful and stronger prisoners. Furthermore, they wouldn’t able to escape. Also, she assert that after Chevalier’s escaping, the government ordered to fix that ceiling. This validates the fact that he escaped through the ceiling as mentioned in the memoir.
Thus, the professor refutes all the controversies mentioned in the article and validates all the facts mentioned in the memoir, citing a possible reason.
