The second Lamartine Days were for me an occasion to point out the reasons why the Bulgarian scientist comes to join your gathering. Many times since then I have glanced at Lamartine's legacy in the Paris National Library. In the silence populated with memories, I was particularly attracted by the extraordinary bearing of this great citizen of his time. All the more so since Lamartine's political thought, considered by most researchers as extraneous, remains much less known today than his literary work.
