Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Joseph Fouche, Vol. 1 of 2: Duke of Otranto, Minister of the General Police of France Under the Revolution, the first Empire, and the Restoration, Fouché played one of the most important parts. He is one of their curious visages. But if he has traced his name in ineffaceable characters on all the pages of the history of his epochs, it must be recognised that the judgment passed on this politician is generally pretty severe. A brilliant pupil of the Oratory, - a religious order which took as active a part in the theological squabbles of the Church as in the affairs of the temporal order, - Fouché devoted himself first to teaching, and we find him professor in the Oratory at Nantes when the Revolution breaks out. He is ablaze for the new ideas, and plunges into the political movement with the zeal of a convinced and ardent spirit. The department of Loire Inférieure having elected him deputy to the Convention, he takes his seat on the benches of the Mountain. When the Assembly tries Louis XVI., Fouché delivers one of the most vehement speeches, and votes for the Kings death without appeal or respite. A little later he is among the number of those who overthrow the Girondins. Sent on a mission into the Niévre to put the law of suspects into execution, he places himself at the head of the anti-Catholic movement, suppresses the religious emblems which exist in the public places, and writes over the gates of the cemeteries, "Death is an eternal sleep."
