30 - Figaro- The Life of Beaumarchais by John Rivers

Explore the multifaceted life of Beaumarchais in this engaging podcast. Beaumarchais was not just a watchmaker and music teacher, but also a politician, opportunist, and publisher. He served as a secret agent for Louis XVI, yet sparked revolutions in France and America, only to be imprisoned for being a counter-revolutionary. A friend to Voltaire, he was also a libertarian, arms dealer, and a playwright whose renowned Figaro trilogy reflects the chaotic dissolution of Medieval society and the painful birth of a new democratic era. This biography by John Rivers provides a fascinating insight into a complex figure who lived in tumultuous times.
