Paul Henri Mallet (August 20, 1730 - February 8, 1807), Swiss writer, was born in Geneva.
While there he was requested by the czarina to undertake the education of the heir-apparent of Russia (afterwards the czar Paul I), but declined the honour.
An invitation more congenial to his tastes led to his accompanying Lord Mountstuart in his travels through Italy and thence to England, where he was presented at court and commissioned to write the history of the house of Brunswick.

In Paul et Virginie (1787) by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, set mainly on an exotic island in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius), idealised love turns to tragedy because even in a world so close to nature the heroine cannot dissociate love from the puritanical morality she has learnt in "civilised" France.
André Breton was the autocratic leader of a group that included Paul Éluard and Louis Aragon, both of whom were far from disordered in their careful craftsmanship and mastery of metrical form.

John Paul will always be known as the conqueror of communism: he was an enemy within, in this case within the communist bloc’s weakest link, Poland - to which the introduction of communism was, as Stalin put it in a more accurate comment, “like putting a saddle on a cow”.
John Paul’s less famed but deeply held views, whose impact was felt in political arenas the world over (if not nearly as strongly as he would wish), were strongly anti-liberal.

 Synarchy Against America, by Anton Chaitkin
Mallet du Pan's ultimate political theory may be summed up in his outburst in a letter he had written to his teacher Voltaire in 1772: "I shall exhaust all the feeble enlightenment that I owe to you in eradicating the work of St. Boniface."[13] The Eighth-Century missionary Boniface Christianized Germany.
When Mallet du Pan and Necker and their families consulted with him, in Geneva and Lausanne 1792-1793, Necker was "retired" from French office, but deeply involved in managing events within the Revolutionary turmoil, and Mallet du Pan was the principal director of Continental intelligence for the British crown.
Then, Mallet went on to say, the monarchy was restored and few states have been as free of political troubles as has England since then.

Mallet's work was very bad in its account of the racial affinities of the nations commonly referred to as the barbarians that overturned the Roman empire and culture.
Mallet's translation of the _Edda_ was imperfect, too, because he had followed the Latin version of Resenius, which was notoriously poor.
"Mallet, and his version of the Edda, is all the poem is based upon," says Arnold.[20] It is the poet's divinely implanted instinct that gathers from the few chapters of an old book a knowledge wonderfully full and deep of the cosmogony and eschatology of the northern nations of Europe.

 The New Pope Benedict XVI » Pope John Paul II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Pope John Paul II combined three elements, Garton Ash noted; he was the head of the world’s largest supranational organization of individual human beings; he believed with unshakeable conviction that his message was universal; and he seized the technological opportunity of bringing that message personally to almost every country on earth.
Concetti also argued that John Paul II was responsible for formulating a new human right in the international area: the right of humanitarian intervention in a nation where an ethnic community or a part of the population is threatened with genocide.
Therefore, John Paul II hoped that World Mission Sunday would be “an opportune occasion to increase our awareness of the urgent necessity to participate in the evangelizing mission undertaken by the local Communities and many Church organizations, in particular, the Pontifical Mission Societies and the Missionary Institutes,” he said.
