Victor Hugo’s speech in support of Jérôme Bonaparte, Napoleon’s youngest brother
There was one speech, however, which he delivered with wholehearted pleasure. He made it in support of the petition put forward by Jérôme Bonaparte asking that his family should be allowed to return to France. Hugo evoked the memory of his own father, “one of the Emperor’s veterans.” It was in obedience to his wishes that he now “rose to speak.” He painted a glowing picture of Napoleon’s universal glory, and asked what crime that great man had committed thus to be struck down forever in the members of his family. “These are his crimes: religion reinstated; the Civil Code drafted; France aggrandized beyond even her natural frontiers; Marengo, Jéna, Wagram, Austerlitz; the greatest gift of power and glory that one great man has ever given to a great nation! . . .” One of the ushers, an old battalion commander, burst into tears at the foot of the tribune. Fortunée Hamelin and Léonie d'Aunet, both Bonapartists, were triumphant.
And what, really, was Hugo? An adorer of the imperial idol? A courtier of the bourgeois monarchy? A friend of the poor? So long as a man has not taken a private and binding oath of allegiance, how can he know what he is? Whether he liked it or not, he was le Vicomte Hugo, member of the Academy, peer of France; a man with a “well-fed, full-fleshed face” who dined at the tables of ambassadors and ministers.

Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life’s nothingness.

Hayır, ben, bizim gençliğimizdeki dönemin bir altın çağı olduğunu sanmıyorum. Aslına bakılırsa, ben altın çağı denilen şeye de inanmam; insanlar hep insan olarak kalacaklardır, yani kahramanlarla vahşi hayvanların oluşturdukları bir karışım.

“Sólo hay una verdad absoluta: que la verdad es relativa”
André Maurois

Fue el seudónimo de Émile Salomon Wilhelm Herzog, novelista y ensayista francés nacido en Elbeuf Normandía en julio de 1885.
Descendiente de una rica familia judía dedicada a la industria textil , estudió en el Liceo de Ruán y se licenció en letras en 1903.
Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial tomó parte como intérprete y luego como oficial de enlace adscrito al Estado Mayor de un ejercito británico en el Somme.
En 1918 publicó con el seudónimo de Andre Maurois la obra “Les silences du colonel Bramble”, obra que tuvo una buena acogida y que lo decidió a seguir escribiendo.
Alternó con relatos, novelas, biografías y ensayos. Su consagración como novelista la debió a su obra Climas en 1928.
A lo largo de su obra sumó numerosas semblanzas de personajes históricos, desde pensadores y escritores hasta politicos y aristócratas.
Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su obra narrativa fue relativamente escasa, y luchó por la Francia libre como capitán del ejército francés y se refugio en Estados Unidos al negar su obediencia al gobierno pro nazi de Vichy, no obstante, sus numerosas conferencias y sus amenas biografías le dieron una inmensa popularidad en el mundo entero.
Escritor de fama gracias a sus novelas y biografías, en las que destacó su profundo conocimiento del alma humana.
Regresó a Francia en 1946 en donde le fue otorgada la Gran Cruz de la Legión de Honor falleciendo en octubre de 1967 a la edad de 87 años.

"Souvent, en regardant une charmante copie d’un portrait d’Angelo Bronzino, que possédait sa mère et qui représentait un seigneur de vingt ans, l’épée au côté et la main sur un livre, il avait pensé à ce temps où un soldat pouvait sans ridicule être passionnément attaché à l’étude. "Que de fois l’ai-je regardé et entretenu, ce témoin charmant, grave et pensif, d’un âge disparu. Que de fois j’ai revécu avec lui cette vie vraie, où l’on se poignardait bien au coin des rues, où la lutte était à chaque pas, mais où tous les ressorts étaient tendus, où toutes les facultés vibraient. Il a son épée. C’était un "noble cavalier, hardi et courtois" ; c’était un soldat, comme l’était tout seigneur ; il vient sans doute de combattre à la tête de ses gens contre les troupes de l’Empereur Charles-Quint qui menace la ville. Mais il est appuyé aussi sur un livre. C’est qu’après les bons coups d’estoc il aime lire Dante ; il a peut-être lui-même composé quelques sonnets ; à coup s��r il a devisé des affaires de la République et causé de l’art avec son peintre et ses compagnons. C’était alors tout simple, l’homme et le citoyen demeuraient toujours sous l’habit qui les couvrait."."
André Maurois, Lyautey, Paris, Librairie Plon, 1931.
