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 article and the lecture are both about memoir about Chevalier. The author of the reading feels doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. The lecturer challengers the claims maid by the author. She thinks that there are no doubts about the accuracy of the memoir.
The author argue that Chevalier borrowed some mony from Swiss merchant. The article is mention that if the Chevalier is really been rich he wouldn't asked for mony. This point is challenge by the lecturer. She claims that in Switzerland he had lot of parties and gambling. Furthermore he say that Chevalier need some time to sell his properties get some cash. Till that time he might borrowed money.
Secondly, the author suggests that memoir might inacurate since memoir can not possibly capture these conversations since it was written long time after the conversations occurred. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that the author took notes every day about those conversations. She elaborates on this by mentioning that while he was writting the memoir he reffer some notes.
Finally, the author states that Chevalier escape from the prison by bribeing to the jailers. Moreover, the article says that Chevalier had lot of politically well connected friends. The lecturer's possin is that Chevalier escaped from the prison by the hole in the celing.In contrast, he says that after Chevalier escape jail had to repair the celing.
