Madame Roland

Pages : 612
Book Description
Excerpt from Madame Roland: A Study in Revolution Sometimes there seems to be nothing in life at all save the putting out of effort in some way or other, and we have to hold firmly to the belief that to act with enthusiasm and faith is the one condition Of acting greatly. Life, as far as we know it, is action, is passion, and if a man does not share in the action or the passion of his time, he runs the peril of being judged not to have lived at all. The woman about whom this book has been written is distinguished by a determination to share in the passion of her day. She believed in the unexplainable worth and sure issue of effort, and she stood steadily on her course of unfaltering preparation for that public and political life to which she believed against all evidence that she might one day be called. For this people have called Madame Roland a prig, as if by slinging an idle epithet all interest in her could be for ever stilled. It does not matter what they call her, the fact remains that her life, priggish or no, unsympathetic or no, was a life of purpose and direction She was not particularly Witty or humorous, -people of purpose seldom are, - but she had a fund of gaiety and good temper which endeared her to a great many of her contempo raries. There was no insipidity about her, she led her own life absolutely, Wherever she was stationed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Anne-Josèphe
Author: William Wilczak
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525596187
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Anne-Josèphe: A Stage Play brings to life the historic Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt, a commonly overlooked revolutionary who fought for liberty and equality for women during the French Revolution. Bold and passionate about effecting change, Anne-Josèphe dons men’s clothes, arms herself, and trains French women as Amazones. She encounters many key players in the French Revolution – such as Abbé Sieyès, Marquis de Condorcet, Madame Roland, Claire Lacombe, and Marat – yet she also draws the attention of a vicious and chauvinistic press. As blood spills between rival factions over the governance and future of France, Anne-Josèphe finds her own freedom – and mental health – slipping away. Anne-Josèphe is an epic tragedy written with an existential lens and includes an introduction to Existentialism to attune readers to this philosophy. Historical and dramatic, reasoned and emotional, this play represents our past, present, and possibly our future if we don’t face our existing struggles and overall spiritlessness in our age. For the free audiobook recording of Introduction To Existentialism, follow the Existential Will podcast.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Madame Roland It is not probable that much that is material will be added to What is' now known. To the labours of M. Claud Perroud, the latest editor of her Memoirs and letters, supplemented by copious notes and appendices, any fixture biographer must be largely indebted. His researches appear to have been practically exhaustive, and from the data he supplies, as well as from the testimony of contemporaries, it is possible to gain a clear View Of the woman she was - generous, courageous, warm-hearted, arrogant, and self-occupied. Of that woman, her great gifts and powers, her faults and her weaknesses, and the charm she exercised over those brought into contact with her, I have here endeavoured to give a picture, adding only so much of the history of her times as may be necessary to throw her figure into relief and to define the place she filled with regard to it.
