Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 3 of 5 In the history of France, the influence and working of the national mind are often so inapparent, that a monarch would have been puzzled who thought to consult it. It comes strongly in support of my theory to observe, that during such periods of syncope no great man ever made his appearance. Through long epochs, indeed, opinion in France there was none, if one will not acknowledge as such a worship of expedi ency, and a tendency to fall prostrate in despair before whatever power came forward to play the bold bully and insist on dominating. True, the nation was apt to awaken at intervals to a sense of a condition so abject, and to play the maniac in shaking off its fetters and asserting its rights. But the vigour seldom sur vived the access of rage; purpose was lost in frenzy, and the great object of humanity in the imposing sound and glitter of merely fanciful words. Such disquisitions, however, would require not a pre face but a volume. It has been here indulged in merely to vindicate the cause and necessity of narratives of things, at least as an indispensable background to the representation of characters and persons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 3 of 5 Great was the joy at the J acobins. Its members congratu lated themselves on the energy of the people, on their late admirable conduct, and on the removal of all those obstacles which the right side had not ceased to Oppose to the progress of the Revolution. According to the custom after all great events, they agreed upon the manner. In which the last insur rection should be represented. The people, said Robe spierre, have confounded all their calumniators by their conduct. Eighty thousand men have been under arms for nearly a week, yet no property has been violated, not a drop of blood has been spilled, and they have thus proved whether it was their aim, as it has been alleged, to profit by the disorder for the commission of murder and plunder. Their insurrection was spontaneous, because it was the effect of the general conviction; and the Mountain itself, weak and astonished at this movement, has proved that it did not concur to produce it. Thus this insurrection has been wholly moral and wholly popular. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Third French Republic In 1866, Prussia won from Austria the im portant victory of Koniggr'atz or Sadowa, and thereby asserted its leadership. The outcome was a check to Napoleon, who had expected a different result. Moreover, by it Bismarck was encouraged to pursue his plans for the consolidation of Germany under a still more openly acknowledged Prussian supremacy. A crafty and utterly unscrupulous diplomat, he was able to mislead Napoleon and his unskilful ministers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of France Under the Third Republic Just a hundred years have elapsed since the first French Republic attained apparent stability, with high prestige and virtual paramountcy throughout Europe. The political fortunes of France since that time have been full of a strange and seemingly capricious variety. As one looks back, however, over the course of things since the revolutionary period, it becomes plain not only that the last quarter of the hundred years has been by far the best epoch for the French people, but also that the caprice and contradiction of French political history have been rather upon the surface of events, while the real life of the nation has unfolded by processes of development which make the present order in some true sense the logical and necessary outcome of all that has gone before. It has not been the task of our author in the present volume to treat of the entire century. He finds it desirable, nevertheless, briefly to recite his philosophy of the political evolution of France since the first Napoleon. His views seem to me to disclose not merely a typical French aptitude for generalization and the rationale of things, but further than that a justness of judgment and a reasonableness that inspire the utmost confidence.

Download or read book A History of France written by John Julius Norwich and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “engaging, enthusiastic, sympathetic, funny” journey through French history from the New York Times–bestselling author of Absolute Monarchs (The Wall Street Journal). Beginning with Julius Caesar’s conquest of Gaul in the first century BC, this study of French history comprises a cast of legendary characters―Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, and Marie Antoinette, to name a few―as John Julius Norwich chronicles France’s often violent, always fascinating history. From the French Revolution―after which neither France nor the world would be the same again―to the storming of the Bastille, from the Vichy regime and the Resistance to the end of the Second World War, A History of France is packed with heroes and villains, battles and rebellion—written with both an expert command of detail and a lively appreciation for the subject matter by this “true master of narrative history” (Simon Sebag Montefiore).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Third French Republic In the following pages I have tried to give an historical, and, to some extent, an anecdotal narration of the Third Republic's progress from the end of May 1871 up to the year 1908. The great conflict accompanying the birth of the Republic was practically finished before its separate existence began. Virtually, the Commune belongs to the Republic; but it is historically connected rather with the Siege of Paris and the war; and a whole volume would be required to relate these origins adequately. In a first separate chapter, therefore, I have told about them just enough for any allusions in the sequel to be understood. Of many things that will be found in the second half of the book, I write from personal experience. Having lived for the last twenty years in France, where indeed I have been privileged to make the acquaintance of some of her citizens eminent in politics, literature, and art, I have learned to appreciate the various admirable qualities of the French race. To any fair-minded observer it is evident that France is evolving as a nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
