Mémoires secrets pour servir à l'Histoire de Perse.

Amsterdam, Aux Dépens De La Compagnie, 1746.

More Details >

300 €

This book is a satire of the political and gallant intrigues of the court of Louis XIV, in the form of false "Mémoires" (Persia becomes France and all the protagonists are named with oriental names). The key to the understanding is given at the end of the text.
In reality, this satirical book deals with the History of France and Europe from the death of Louis XIV to the reign of Louis XV.
It is also the first book, in which the story of the famous "Iron Mask" is mentionned.
Following the publication, the author was jailed in La Bastille.

Work by the very influential editor-in-chief of the NRF in which he proposes "to finally identify some method or key, which will allow us to separate the true from the false".

Aimé Blanc-Dufour had signed an article "Reflections on Jean Paulhan and rhetoric" in September 1946 in Cahiers du sud, Jean Paulhan responded to it on his relationship to rhetoric.
“Secret society, no doubt. And I believe, in this sense also, that Rhéto holds a secret, touching the relationships between language and thought…”.
