The reading doubts accuracy of Chevalier’s memoirs and questions the veracity of the details of his life, while the lecture confirms preciseness and validity of the writings and life episodes of Chevalier.
First, the author claims that Chevalier was not rich. In Switzerland he borrowed money from a merchant. However, the lecturer argues that the man converted his wealth into money. As it took some time to get cash, Chevalier temporarily borrowed money from a merchant.
Second, the passage doubts the accuracy of conversations between Chevalier and Voltaire. Specifically, it is stated that a lot of time had passed before those conversations were noted. By contrast, the lecture claims that the talks were written down by Chevalier right on the next night after talking to Voltaire. Moreover, witnesses saw Chevalier consulting his notes before documenting the conversations.
Third, the reading questions the way in which Chevalier escaped prison, stating that he bribed jailers and his powerful friends assisted him. On the contrary, the lecture highlights the fact that after Chevalier’s escape there was a need to repair ceiling of his camera, and mighty friends did not chance to help him. Thus, the lecture supports the idea that Chevalier escaped by drilling a hole in the ceiling.
Overall, the reading casts doubt on the richness of Chevalier, accuracy of his conversations with Voltaire and his escape from prison, while the lecture proves that Chevalier was wealthy, noted conversations accurately and escaped prison on his own.
