Summary "Mémoires sur la vie publique et privée de Fouquet, surintendant des finances" by A. Chéruel is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book meticulously explores the life and career of Nicolas Fouquet, detailing his rise and fall during a tumultuous period in French history, particularly under Louis XIV and during the Fronde. It also delves into the life of Fouquet's brother, the abbé Fouquet, providing a comprehensive understanding of their political maneuvers and personal stories against the backdrop of 17th-century France. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Nicolas Fouquet's life from his early years to 1650. It introduces the complexity of his family background, highlighting the influence of his father, François Fouquet, and the contrasting virtues of his mother, Marie Maupeou. Key moments such as Fouquet's rise to power as a master of requests, his various roles within the military and financial administration, and his intricate relationship with Cardinal Mazarin are outlined. The text indicates that Fouquet's career will unfold amidst significant political strife, which foreshadows the challenges he will face later in his life.
