Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
N en 1739 BasseTerre d'une esclave d'origine sngalaise et d'un planteur noble, le beau multre apparat aujourd'hui comme l'une des figures les plus romanesques du XVIIIe sicle.Aprs une enfance en Guadeloupe et SaintDomingue, SaintGeorge est vite adopt par l'aristocratie parisienne pour ses multiples talents : escrimeur, danseur, sducteur, et surtout musicien, il dirige le Concert des amateurs puis la socit de concerts de L'Olympique, considrs comme les meilleurs d'Europe, commande Haydn ses Symphonies parisiennes, passe pour le rival de Mozart, et devient le premier Noir francmaon de France. Ami intime du duc d'Orlans, il habite l'un des plus somptueux htels particuliers de la rive gauche, et il est mme nomm directeur de l'Opra royal par Louis XVI, mais doit renoncer face au refus obstin de deux cantatrices d'tre diriges par un... mtis. A Londres, il se bat en duel contre le chevalier d'Eon, avant de s'engager corps et me pour la Rvolution : il cre alors un rgiment de Noirs et de mtis, la lgion de SaintGeorge, qui combat sur les frontires du Nord.Trois ans aprs la mort de SaintGeorge, en 1799, Napolon rtablit l'esclavage, et le ngre des Lumires, 'Voltaire de la musique' selon l'abb Grgoire, ou 'Watteau de la musique' selon La Laurencie, s'enfonce dans une nuit de deux sicles.C'est le destin exceptionnel de ce rpudi de l'histoire que retrace ici Alain Gud, avec une allgresse et un brio qui rendent hommage la vitalit et la prminence dans son sicle du grand SaintGeorge, dont on ne se lasse pas de lire les aventures et d'couter la musique.
