Madame swetchine ou le ciel d'ici
Francine de Martinoir - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
All those who take an interest in the history of ideas, philosophical questions, debates about Catholicism, political and social battles, or simply worldly existence, or in the relations between important figures of the 19th century, have surely come across Madame Swetchine. For a long time, up to the 1920s, she was very well-known indeed. And then she was somewhat forgotten, her image faded from view. Perhaps it is the rediscovery of Tocqueville and the study of liberal and social Catholicism that have revived the interest she inspired during her lifetime. However, no biography has been devoted to her for almost a hundred years now. Our perceptions of the times she knew and the ordeals she endured have been greatly modified. And our knowledge of the decades she traversed, its events, crises and challenges, has greatly increased. The time has come to restore her former status. Admittedly, Sophie Soymonov never sought to occupy the centre stage. But she who was called the mysterious Madame Swetchine"and"the Russian Madame de Sévigné"- and about whom Jean Guitton reminded us that her role, with regard to Christianity, had been ecumenical - is a figure we are keen to rediscover."
