Summary "Mémoires de Marmontel (Volume 1 of 3)" by Jean-François Marmontel is an autobiographical work written in the late 18th century. This memoir recounts the life of the author, including his experiences, reflections on family, and the societal changes he witnessed, particularly during the turbulent times of the French Revolution. Marmontel emphasizes the significance of familial love and moral lessons, aiming to instruct his children through the narrative of his life. At the start of the memoir, Marmontel introduces his intent to write for the education of his children, expressing a deep sense of familial duty. He reflects on his childhood in the small town of Bort, characterized by simplicity and the warmth of family, where he learned important life lessons through modest living and strong parental affection. The narrative unfolds with nostalgic descriptions of his early education, his relationships with teachers and peers, and the gradual development of his character, all while setting the stage for the moral philosophies he wishes to impart to his offspring.
