Talleyrand The Man is a biography of Charles-Maurice Talleyrand-Perigord, a prominent figure in French politics during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Written by Bernard de Lacombe, the book provides a comprehensive account of Talleyrand's life, from his birth into an aristocratic family in 1754 to his death in 1838. The book explores Talleyrand's role in the French Revolution, his service as a diplomat under Napoleon Bonaparte, and his later career as a statesman and advisor to King Louis-Philippe. It also delves into his personal life, including his relationships with women and his struggles with physical disabilities.De Lacombe draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Talleyrand's own writings and letters, to paint a nuanced portrait of this complex and controversial figure. The book provides a fascinating look at the political and social upheavals of Talleyrand's era, as well as the personal challenges he faced in navigating them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
