Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz V2 is a book that recounts the life and experiences of Cardinal de Retz, a prominent figure in the French Catholic Church during the 17th century. The book is a continuation of the first volume and provides a detailed account of the Cardinal's involvement in the Fronde, a series of civil wars that took place in France between 1648 and 1653. The memoirs cover the Cardinal's political and religious activities during this turbulent period, including his role in the rebellion against the French monarchy and his eventual arrest and imprisonment. The book also provides insights into the Cardinal's personal life, including his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, such as Queen Anne of Austria and Cardinal Mazarin.Written in a candid and engaging style, Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz V2 offers a unique perspective on the political and social upheavals of 17th century France. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of France and the Catholic Church during this period.Had I been wise I should have stopped there, because a man ought in prudence to make his peace with the Court upon any terms consistent with honour. But I was young, and the more provoked because I perceived that all the fair words given me at Fontainebleau were but a feint to gain time to write about the affair to my uncle, then at Angers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
