| Summary |
"Souvenirs d'un sexagénaire, Tome IV" by A.-V. Arnault is a memoir written in the early 19th century. The work captures the reflections and experiences of the author, who seems to have had a close association with key historical figures, notably Napoleon Bonaparte. The narrative likely deals with significant events surrounding the French Revolution and its aftermath, offering insights into political and cultural life during that tumultuous period. The opening of the memoir introduces the author’s perspective on the political unrest and personal tribulations in France, specifically between December 1797 and May 1798. It reflects a chaotic Paris overwhelmed by disease, illustrating a backdrop of anxiety and grief. The author highlights his association with Bonaparte, who has just returned to the city, and provides an intimate view of Bonaparte’s personality and political maneuvers. The narrative suggests a mix of admiration and observation as the author recounts Bonaparte's social engagements, his macro-political aspirations, and the interactions within the intellectual circles of the time.
