Summary: "Benjamin Constant" by Hippolyte Castille is a biography written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the year 1857. The book explores the life and contributions of the Swiss-French political thinker and writer Benjamin Constant, who played a significant role in the intellectual landscape of early 19th-century France.
