Maistre, Joseph de
Born: 1 April 1753 in Chambéry
Died: February 26, 1821. Turin. French politician and philosopher. He served the Duchy of Savoy and became a member of the Duchy's parliament in 1787. In 1792, the Duchy was dissolved after the invasion of the French Republican Army, and he fled to Geneva, where he became acquainted with Madame de Stael and B. Constant. He served the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1797, holding important positions, and stayed in St. Petersburg as a special envoy from 1803 to 1817. He was initially influenced by liberalism, Freemasonry, and the Illuminati, but after the revolution he became the leading counter-revolutionary philosopher. He recognized ultramontanism on the basis of tradition, saw the king as the embodiment of the unity of the royal family, and argued for the necessity of absolute monarchy. His major works include "Considérations sur la France" (1796), "On the Papacy" (2 volumes, 1819), and "Les Soirées de St. Petersbourg" (2 volumes, 1821).

Maistre
Master, Xavier de

Born: November 8, 1763 in Chambéry
Died: June 12, 1852. St. Petersburg. French soldier and novelist. Younger brother of J. Maistre. Not fond of academics, he enlisted as an officer in the Sardinian army at the age of 18, and defected to Russia after the French occupation. He joined the Caucasus expedition as an officer in the Russian army, and was promoted to general. He wrote novels full of simple charm, such as Les Prisonniers du Caucase (1825), Le Jeune sibérienne (25), and essays such as Le Voyage autour de ma chambre (1795). Although he is not as famous as his brother Joseph in the literary world, he is considered a pioneer of romanticism in his actions and ideas.
