Livre de Ralph Waldo Emerson · 1850 (France)
Representative Men is a collection of seven lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson, published as a book of essays in 1850. The first essay discusses the role played by "great men" in society, and the remaining six each extoll the virtues of one of six men deemed by Emerson to be great: Plato, Emanuel Swedenborg, Michel de Montaigne, William Shakespeare, Napoleon and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
