Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Download or read book The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens written by Georg Jellinek and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The declaration of "the rights of man and of citizens" by the French Constituent Assembly on August 26, 1789, is one of the most significant events of the French Revolution. It has been criticised from different points of view with directly opposing results. The political scientist and the historian, thoroughly appreciating its importance, have repeatedly come to the conclusion that the Declaration had no small part in the anarchy with which France was visited soon after the storming of the Bastille. They point to its abstract phrases as ambiguous and therefore dangerous, and as void of all political reality and practical statesmanship. Its empty pathos, they say, confused the mind, disturbed calm judgment, aroused passions, and stifled the sense of duty, -for of duty there is not a word.[1] Others, on the contrary, and especially Frenchmen, have exalted it as a revelation in the world's history, as a catechism of the "principles of 1789" which form the eternal foundation of the state's structure, and they have glorified it as the most precious gift that France has given to mankind. Less regarded than its historical and political significance is the importance of this document in the history of law, an importance which continues even to the present day. Whatever may be the value or worthlessness of its general phrases, it is under the influence of this document that the conception of the public rights of the individual has developed in the positive law of the states of the European continent.

This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De 1789 à 1795, la révolution fut une révolution des peuples, une révolution du « droit naturel humaniste », parce qu’elle tenta de libérer l’homme et la société du despotisme doctrinal des Églises, du despotisme de l’État séparé de la société, du despotisme du pouvoir économique conquérant, colonialiste et raciste, du despotisme de la différence sexuelle.Comment est-on passé de la ré-publique populaire à la ré-privée des possédants? Comment la Révolution en est-elle venue à contredire sa philosophie et à supprimer la Déclaration des droits naturels de l’homme et du citoyen, et cela jusqu’en... 1946? Florence Gauthier expose l’importance de l’affrontement entre «côté gauche» et «côté droit» à propos du droit à l’existence et de la loi martiale, du cosmopolitisme, du droit des femmes, de la guerre de conquête et de la question coloniale, de l’esclavage, aboli en 1794 et rétabli en 1802 par Napoléon Bonaparte pour satisfaire aux nécessités de l’économie et aux intérêts de la classe des possédants en pleine mutation.Elle montre l’étroitesse des liens qui unirent les organisateurs de Thermidor au parti colonial de Corse et de Saint-Domingue.C’est en s’opposant à la dynamique de la Révolution de 1789 que la bourgeoisie s’est constituée en classe consciente de ses intérêts particuliers. La Constitution de 1795 illustre ainsi l’avènement de l’intérêt particulier des possédants et du despotisme de leur pouvoir économique sur le monde.
