This book was released on 2013-03-02 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two sieges of Zaragoza in 1808 and 1809 during the Peninsular War were proverbially bitter, as the patriotic fervour encountered invading the French was unknown during their campaigns in other parts of Europe. This was to be the “guerra al cuchillo”, the war of the Spanish Guerilla, impassioned to save their king and homeland, and the determined professional and undefeated French armies. In this short and valuable book, the story of the first siege is brought into full life in English by the contemporary author Charles Vaughan. Author — Charles Richard Vaughan M.B. Text taken, whole and complete, from the third edition published in London, James Ridgway, 1809. Original Page Count – 33 pages.

Book excerpt: L'Espagne a gardé le souvenir glorieux de Sagonte et Numance. Ces deux noms demeurent dans la mémoire collective espagnole comme un exemple d'abnégation de la part d'un peuple en proie à un funeste destin : assiégé, réduit à la dernière extrémité, il se trouva dans la cruelle alternative de se rendre et vivre en esclave ou de se battre et mourir dans l'honneur. Les habitants de ces deux illustres cités choisirent le dénouement fatal en faisant le sacrifice de leur vie. Tout comme Sagonte et Numance, Saragosse allait devenir, vingt siècles plus tard, le symbole de la résistance espagnole à l'invasion d'une puissance étrangère. Il ne s'agissait plus cette fois de résister à des armées carthaginoises ou romaines, mais à celles de Napoléon alors que l'Espagne était l'alliée de la France depuis la paix de Bâle, en 1795. En voulant imposer sa politique d'expansion économique et dynastique sur la péninsule ibérique, Napoléon provoqua la réaction du peuple espagnol et une guerre qui allait le conduire au désastre de Waterloo. Exprimant à Sainte-Hélène des regrets tardifs, il confia à Las Cases : "Quoi qu'il en soit, cette malheureuse guerre d'Espagne a été une véritable plaie, la cause première des malheurs de la France". Une guerre payée au prix d'un lourd bilan humain, évalué à plus de six cent mille victimes espagnoles tant civiles que militaires, contre deux cent soixante mille soldats de la Grande Armée, y compris les soixante mille auxiliaires étrangers tués au combat ou morts dans les hôpitaux. Une guerre à laquelle ont participé dix-huit maréchaux de l'Empire, avec plus ou moins de succès, mais sans jamais remporter de victoire décisive. Deux caresseront l'espoir d'être roi, Murat à Madrid, Soult à Lisbonne, seul le frère aîné de Napoléon portera la couronne d'Espagne, sans d'ailleurs beaucoup d'enthousiasme ni de conviction.

Download or read book The Spanish Ulcer written by David Gates and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By July 1807, following his spectacular victories over Austria, Prussia and Russia, Napoleon dominated most of Europe. The only significant gap in his continental system was the Iberian Peninsula. He therefore begun a series of diplomatic and military moves aimed at forcing Spain and Portugal to toe the line, leading to a popular uprising against the French and the outbreak of war in May 1808. Napoleon considered the war in the Peninsula, which he ruefully called 'The Spanish Ulcer', so insignificant that he rarely bothered to bring to it his military genius, relying on his marshals instead, and simultaneously launching his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. Yet the war was to end with total defeat for the French. In late 1813 Wellington's army crossed the Pyrenees into the mainland of France. This is the first major military history of the war for half a century. Combining scholarship with a vivid narrative, it reveals a war of unexpected savagery, of carnage at times so great as to be comparable to the First World War. But it was also a guerilla war, fought on beautiful but difficult terrain, where problems of supply loomed large. The British Navy, dominant at sea after Trafalgar, was able to provide crucial support to the hard-pressed, ill-equipped and often outnumbered forces fighting the French. Dr Gates' history can claim to be the first to provide a serious assessment of the opposing generals and their troops, as well as analysing in detail the social and political background. The Peninsular war is particularly rich in varied and remarkable campaigns, and his book will fascinate all those who enjoy reading military history.

Download or read book Paratexts written by Gerard Genette and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paratexts are those liminal devices and conventions, both within and outside the book, that form part of the complex mediation between book, author, publisher and reader: titles, forewords, epigraphs and publishers' jacket copy are part of a book's private and public history. In this first English translation of Paratexts, Gérard Genette shows how the special pragmatic status of paratextual declaration requires a carefully calibrated analysis of their illocutionary force. With clarity, precision and an extraordinary range of reference, Paratexts constitutes an encyclopedic survey of the customs and institutions as revealed in the borderlands of the text. Genette presents a global view of these liminal mediations and the logic of their relation to the reading public by studying each element as a literary function. Richard Macksey's foreword describes how the poetics of paratexts interact with more general questions of literature as a cultural institution, and situates Gennet's work in contemporary literary theory.
