Book Description
Ce livre historique peut contenir de nombreuses coquilles et du texte manquant. Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1800 edition. Extrait: ...en l'appelant aux fonctions de lieutenant de maire, a l'organisation de la commune de Paris, lui eut fourni l'occasion de faire approuver sa gestion, il fut le premier ministre que le roi voulut choisir dans la bourgeoisie. L'opinion publique proscrivoit tous les autres: elle applaudit au choix de celui-ci; et pendant le tres-long cours de son ministere, eu egard a ceux qui l'avoient precede ou qui l'ont suivi, il ne lui fut reproche ni orgueil, ni abus d'autorite. Ses fonctions pourtant avoient ete aussi epineuses que brillantes; car la fuite du roi a Varennes l'avoit l'avoit rendu la. premiere personne de l'etat; mais il tenoit autant a sa modestie qu'a ses habitudes: son elevation ne l'avoit point etourdi, et il aimoit a descendre quelquefois dans le modique logement qu'il occupoit avant de monter a l'hotel du garde-des-sceaux. C'etoit comme un asyle qu'il eut craint de ne plus retrouver, quand le jour des grandeurs seroit eclipse. Les evenemens du 1 o aout, auxquels il n'avoit pris aucune part, l'envelopperent, comme tant d'autres, dans le decret d'accusation qui le traduisit dans les prisons d'Orleans, pour y etre juge par la haute-cour nationale.

Book Description
In nineteenth-century Paris, passionate involvement with revolution turned the city into an engrossing object of cultural speculation. For writers caught between an explosive past and a bewildering future, revolution offered a virtuoso metaphor by which the city could be known and a vital principle through which it could be portrayed. In this engaging book, Priscilla Ferguson locates the originality and modernity of nineteenth-century French literature in the intersection of the city with revolution. A cultural geography, Paris as Revolution "reads" the nineteenth-century city not in literary works alone but across a broad spectrum of urban icons and narratives. Ferguson moves easily between literary and cultural history and between semiotic and sociological analysis to underscore the movement and change that fueled the powerful narratives defining the century, the city, and their literature. In her understanding and reconstruction of the guidebooks of Mercier, Hugo, Vallès, and others, alongside the novels of Flaubert, Hugo, Vallès, and Zola, Ferguson reveals that these works are themselves revolutionary performances, ones that challenged the modernizing city even as they transcribed its emergence. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.
