"La Confession de Talleyrand, V. 1-5" by Talleyrand-Périgord is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work reflects the complex life and perspectives of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, a prominent French diplomat whose career spanned from the court of Louis XV to Louis-Philippe. The book delves into Talleyrand's political maneuvers, personal reflections, and critiques of the events of his time, painting a vivid picture of the tumultuous changes in France and Europe over several decades. The opening portion of the text reveals Talleyrand's motivations for writing his memoirs, which he describes as a means of self-exploration and possibly a critique of his historical narrative. He reflects on his early life, marked by physical disability and emotional neglect from his family, which shaped his worldview and ambitions. Talleyrand establishes a contemplative tone, considering the past's influence on the present while engaging with the complexities of memory, identity, and the nature of historical record-keeping. Through this introduction, readers are invited to understand not just the man behind significant political events, but also the philosophy that guided his actions throughout a long and eventful life.

Reading ease score: 76.8 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
