Philippe de Commines (1447 -1511) - a prominent diplomat and trusted advisor to the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, who later served in the service of King Louis XI of France. He took part in the most important negotiations, as well as in wars and palace intrigues. His memoirs are one of the best examples of the memoir genre. Smart and insightful, sometimes cynical, sometimes idealistic to the point of naivety, de Commines remains a faithful son of his era. What does it mean to be in the service of a ruler who is considered a tyrant? What is the relationship between personal freedom and state necessity? How to survive the millstones of history and at the same time preserve human dignity? The memoirs of Philippe de Commines are an attempt to answer these exciting questions that are still relevant today.
