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.
The reading passage and the lecture are both about Chevalier memoir's accuracy.The reading passage claims that his memoir is inaccurate for 3 three reasons.However,the lecturer casts the doubt on the claims made in the article.He believed that there are many historic sources to prove the accuracy.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that many information are distorted and invented by Chevalie .For example, Chevalie was not very wealthy and the evidence shows that he borrowed a lot of money form a merchant.The lecturer reputes this idea .He believes that Chevalie is wealthy and he spent money on parties and gambling.He has many properties and when he ran out of money, the process that sold this properties to exchange the cash which needs severals days.Thus he need to borrow money from others.
Secondly,the author states that the conversation with famous wirter Voltaire in the memoir is inaccurate. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He hold the point that Chevalie wrote down the conversation content which can be confirmed by his neighbor.Thus,when he wirtes the memoire,he only need to open this record.
Finally,the author says that Chevalie cannot possively escaped form jail.In contrast,the lecturer states that other prisoners who have a stronger political relationship couldn't escape.Accordingly Chevalie don't give bribe to friends. In addition, After Chevalie escape from,the jail had been repaired.
