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 lecture have conflicting opinions about whether the notes of Chevalier life is precise. The article strongly postulates that they are highly possible to be added some decoration words and changed the original one to make-believe us that his life was more elegant and fancy. On the other hand, the listening adamantly delineates that it is actually pretty accurate and reliable resources of his life.
First and foremost, according to the author of the excerpt, although he was well-known for his wealth, he borrowed a significant amount of money from a Swiss merchant. Nonetheless, the lecture offsets these points by declaring that borrowing money from someone is not demonstrated that he was poor. Since he might have great number of properties which couldn't convert easily into cash. furthermore, she points out that he had to borrow some money for his debt of gambling or anything because converting money took several days.
Secondly, the professor in the lecture further asserts that dialogue between chevalier and Voltaire was the real one because many witnesses confirm that he carried with him several notes and journals for many years. according to his own notes, he always wrote the main ideas of his conversation with Voltaire after their dialogue did. these claims refute the writer's implications about it is not possible that he remembered all conversations with accuracy after many years it had occurred.
The article lastly points out that it is fancy reading such story as if chevalier escaped from Venice prison for using metal to make a hole, but actually he might corrupt to release himself or his rich allies favoured him. The speaker in the lecture counters these indications by insisting that other prisons who had more potent friends than him couldn't run out from this prison. furthermore, she says that after he was released, the prison made repairment in his room, so the hole was not made by chevalier.
