About the Book

Pierre Augustin Caron de BEAUMARCHAIS (1732-1799), auteur de théâtre français, figure des Lumières et annonciateur de la Révolution française, particulièrement connu par ses deux comédies à intrigue Le barbier de Séville (1775) et Le mariage de Figaro (1784). Le valet Figaro, rusé et plein de ressources, héros des deux oeuvres, est présenté avec une évidente conscience de classe. La dernière des deux comédies apparait comme ouvertement antiaristocratique. Aussi bien l´une que l´autre ont été la source d´inspiration respectivement des opéras de Rossini et de Mozart. Il se lie d'amitié avec le financier de la Cour, Joseph Pâris Duverney qui favorise son entrée dans le monde de la finance et des affaires. Il se lance alors dans les spéculations commerciales et déploie un tel génie en ce genre qu'en peu d'années il acquiert une grande fortune et achète une charge de secrétaire du roi qui lui confère la noblesse. Expert en intrigues et marchandages de toutes sortes et intégré au Secret du Roi - service personnel d'espionnage du roi -, il est en mars 1774 une première fois envoyé à Londres pour négocier la suppression du libelle les Mémoires secrets d'une femme publique de Théveneau de Morande, dirigé contre la comtesse du Barry, favorite royale, mission où il espère regagner les faveurs de la Cour. Cependant, le roi meurt en mai suivant et la comtesse du Barry est bannie de la cour par Louis XVI. En 1790, il se rallie à la Révolution française qui le nomme membre provisoire de la commune de Paris. Mais il quitte bientôt les affaires publiques pour se livrer à de nouvelles spéculations; moins heureux cette fois, il se ruine presque en voulant fournir des armes aux troupes de la République. Devenu suspect sous la Convention, il est emprisonné à l'Abbaye pendant la Terreur. Il échappe cependant à l'échafaud et se tient caché quelques années. Il s'exile à Hambourg puis revient en France en 1796.
