HUMBOLDT WILHELM VON
This is the French translation of the journal kept by philosopher and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt, founder of the University of Berlin, during his stay in Paris. It compiles biting portraits of everybody who was anybody, in what amounts to a large-scale and vivid picture of French society under the Directorate.
