Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archbishop Darboy and Some French Tragedies, 1813-1871 The romantic scenes and exciting incidents which took place in France between the years 1813 and 1871, provide many pleasant hours of study and entertainment to the general reader, as well as to those especially interested in the locality where they happened. The simple record of these events easily creates a desire to find out more about them. To some extent that desire is gratified when, for instance, the reader is made to live once more in the lives of those who witnessed the Revolution of 1848, or who visited the gay salons of the Tuileries, or rode to meet the hounds in the Forests of Fontainebleau and Compiègne during the Festivities of the Second Empire. It would not be easy to surpass the interest experienced by those privileged to stand upon the battle fields of Sèdan, Bazeilles, or Metz, while the scenes of bravery and bloodshed, of philanthropy and brutality, which took place there are carefully described; or to listen to the recital of those thrilling events of tyranny and revenge which happened in the streets of Paris during the Commune of 1871. Apart from the consideration that the tragedies of the past make us grateful for the conditions under which we live at present, it is a pleasure to recall these scenes of former days, which were peopled by heroes, whose very names excite our sympathy and attention.
