Long before the word Super Star was coined, Saint-Georges was the original. Many people throughout history have been famous for one reason or another. Many have made great contributions to civilization and left great legacies. Their paintings and sculptures we still admire. Their discoveries have made our lives better; their music we still play and sing, but no one in history was as talented in so many areas as Saint-Georges. For a time, he was the greatest fencer in the world. He was an exceptional violinist and along with his teacher, Gossec, he pioneered the composition of the String Quartet. Even Mozart came to Paris to study this new form of music. Saint-Georges was an unequaled equestrian, an exceptional marksman and an elegant dancer. The wealthy copied the way he dressed, and the common people admired him as he walked through the streets, and whispered his name. He was a true Renaissance man and a super star in the Paris of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. What is even more remarkable was the fact that he was a mulatto.

The first full biography of one of the greatest figures of eighteenth-century Europe, known in his time as the "Black Mozart" Virtually forgotten until now, his life is the stuff of legend. Born in 1739 in Guadeloupe to a slave mother and a French noble father, he became the finest swordsman of his age, an insider at the doomed court of Louis XVI, and, most of all, a virtuosic musician. A violinist, he directed the Olympic Society of Concerts, which was considered the finest in Europe in an age of great musicians, including Haydn, from whom he commissioned a symphony, and Mozart, to whom he was often compared. He also became the first Freemason of color, embracing the French Revolution with the belief that it would end the racism against which-despite his illustrious achievements-he struggled his whole life. This is the life of Joseph Bologne, known variously as Monsieur de Saint-George, the "Black Mozart," and, because of his origins, "the American." Alain Guédé offers a fascinating account of this extraordinary individual, whose musical compositions are at long last being revived and whose story will never again be forgotten.

Meet Joseph Bologne . . . the most intriguing person you never knew existed. Son of a slave and that woman's owner, an immigrant to France, he became the best swordsman of his time, a celebrated violinist and composer, military leader and staunch abolitionist. Journey from his birthplace, Guadeloupe, to the continent and meet some of the people Joseph encountered, including Kings, Queen Marie-Antoinette, even Wolfgang Amadee Mozart and Benjamin Franklin! You'll see why he earned the title, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Some social problems are always with us, it seems. Every era has had its share of political power grabs, greedy merchants, international conflicts, wars, and competition in every realm of business and sports. Slavery existed for many centuries, and still does in real ways-sex trafficking, forced labor, the abduction of children, abuse of women, sexual domination, gender and racial bias.But, once in a while someone comes along who seems capable of breaking free from the limits placed on him or her, and excels at whatever endeavor he/she chooses. Such was Joseph Bologne. Born in 1745 (a fact somewhat in question) on a sugar cane plantation in Guadeloupe to a slave mother and her owner, nonetheless he was taken to France in order to seize the opportunities available to him, ones not available at all in the West Indies.For 34 years Joseph lived in Paris, travelled to London and other places on the continent, studied the violin, composed masterpieces, formed orchestras, and met the rich and famous. But he also saw the underbelly of society-the poor and disadvantaged, the prostituted, and the masses who fought for revolution in France and Saint-Domingue. He championed the cause of abolition, fought to defend France against the Prussians, and was heartbroken over bloodshed between blacks, mulattos (like himself), and white landowners. In the end, Joseph gained acclaim for his prowess with the sword, the violin, his musical scores, women, and connections with royalty that earned him the titles of chevalier and gendarme du roi.The saga of Chevalier de Saint-George is all here in En-Garde, World!

The book that was banned in England is now available through the Internet at Amazon.com for all the world to see. It's the story of Le Chevalier d'Eon, his major success as a master spy, and his tender love affair with seventeen year old Charlotte, Queen of England. Every English Royal knows but will forever deny it happened. The truth is not supposed to be told...ever. Not then. Not now. Never. Two experienced French spies tried to get to Russia's Empress Elizabeth. Both were jailed and killed. Le Chevalier d'Eon, conscripted into King Louis Fifteenth's small group called THE KING'S SECRET is successful and he becomes Empress Elizabeth's closest personal friend. He personally veers Russia away from England and into the French camp. All this takes Le Chevalier d'Eon away from the love of his life, the girl he is about to marry, young Princess Charlotte who's waiting for him to return to her in Mecklinburg, Germany. But too late. She is kidnapped and taken to England to be King George the Third's wife. She will be Queen of England. Reacting immediately to Charlotte's message that she needs help, d'Eon rushes to London's Saint James Court. Acknowledged as the greatest master spy of all time by Washington, D.C.'s INTERNATIONAL SPY MUSEUM, this novel is based on fact. Len d'Eon is from the same ancestral family as the Cavalier. He and his wife Barbara researched the story in Tonnerre, France, London's British Museum Library, La Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris and wherever the Cavalier's shoes took him.

Né des amours d’un riche colon et d’une esclave de la Guadeloupe, Joseph de Bologne de Saint-George (1745-1799), violoniste et compositeur talentueux, escrimeur redouté et cavalier inimitable, accède enfin à une légitime notoriété après avoir été injustement oublié. Officier de la Maison du roi, agent secret initié aux plus hauts degrés de la franc-maçonnerie, colonel d’un régiment de l’an II, bretteur hors pair et surtout brillant musicien, il a mené une vie digne d’un film de cape et d’épée. De la Guadeloupe à Paris et à la Cour, ce grand séducteur devient l’intime de Marie-Antoinette, croise Laclos, le chevalier d’Éon, le général Dumas, Haydn, Philippe Égalité, Mirabeau et les plus belles femmes de son temps. Mais Saint-George était né esclave. Cette révélation, qui met en lumière un tabou de l’histoire de France, amène aussi à reconsidérer un siècle dont on croyait tout savoir.
