This book is a biography of Antoine-Jean-Baptiste Robert Auget, Baron de Montyon, a French philanthropist known for his establishment of numerous prizes at the Acadà mie Française and other institutions.

The author traces Montyon's life and career, examining his role in the tumultuous events of 18th-century France and highlighting his enduring legacy as a tireless advocate for the poor and disadvantaged.
