Mauprat Summary
|
Sur les confins de la Marche et du Berry, dans le pays qu'on appelle la Varenne, et qui n'est qu'une vaste lande coupée de bois de chênes et de châtaigniers, on trouve, au plus fourré et au plus désert de la contrée, un petit château en ruine, tapi dans un ravin, et dont on ne découvre les tourelles ébréchées qu'à environ cent pas de la herse principale. Les arbres séculaires qui l'entourent et les roches éparses qui le dominent l'ensevelissent dans une perpétuelle obscurité, et c'est tout au plus si, en plein midi, on peut franchir le sentier abandonné qui y mène, sans se heurter contre les troncs noueux et les décombres qui l'obstruent à chaque pas. Ce sombre ravin et ce triste castel, c'est la Roche-Mauprat.

| Napoleon in exile declared that were he again on the throne he should make a point of spending two hours a day in conversation with women, from whom there was much to be learnt. He had, no doubt, several types of women in mind, but it is more than probable that the banishment of Madame de Stael rose before him as one of the mistakes in his career. It was not that he showed lack of judgment merely by the persecution of a rare talent, but by failing to see that the rare talent was pointing out truths very valuable to his own safety. |

| You live not very far from Roche-Mauprat, and must have often passed by the ruins. Thus there is no need for me to describe them... |
