René Galluvot (This book was produced from scanned images of public domain material from the Google Books project.) "Histoire de ma jeunesse" by François Arago is an autobiographical account written in the mid-19th century. The book recounts the early life and education of François Arago, a prominent French physicist and astronomer, shedding light on his formative years leading up to his illustrious scientific career. It addresses his childhood experiences, academic developments, and his interactions with various influential figures of his time. The opening of "Histoire de ma jeunesse" sets the stage for Arago's life story, highlighting his birth in 1786 in Estagel, a small town in France, and his early education. He describes how he learned to read and write and developed an interest in military affairs due to the presence of soldiers in his family home during tumultuous times. A pivotal moment occurs when he encounters an officer who inspires him to pursue higher studies, specifically in mathematics, leading him to self-study to prepare for admission to the prestigious École polytechnique. Arago’s earnest pursuit of knowledge amid personal challenges and the societal backdrop of the time is a central theme in these early chapters.
