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
In the given paragraph Chevalier described as an important sophisticated person from history and the passage tries to argue that in some ways, However, the lecturer championed the Chevalier statements by providing some evidence from her side.
Firstly, Chevalier met many important European kings and writers in the 18th century period and some critics raised doubt on Chevalier's memoir. Passages raising the doubt about the reality and stating it sham that everything was made up to pretend, and show life more exciting and fame than really it was. The example of money borrowing is illustrated here that the chevalier was supposed to be a rich person but he took a loan from some people even though he showed wealth and stayed in Switzerland.
But, the lecturer argues that with point explaining that it maybe because he was in the business of selling property and borrowed some money unless he received from his business.
Secondly, the passage doubts the conversation with Voltaire that no one can remember exact phrases from a long period back. However, Chevalier used to write every night after meeting with Voltaire, and the people who stayed with him supported this evidence too said by the lecturer.
Moreover, critics questioned the memoir prison escape incidence with it is impossible to run out of prison and they claim this story is ersatz to make reading more enjoyable and thrilling. On the other hand, the lecturer provides support to the incident of jail escape researchers found renovation of prison roof at that time. There is no bribing incident reported anywhere in that time about the Chevalier.
