Download or read book Exile in the Maghreb written by Paul B. Fenton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Exile in the Maghreb entails the first attempt at describing the historical reality of the legal and social condition of the Jews in the Muslim countries of North Africa (principally Algeria and Morocco) over a thousand year period from the Middle Ages (997 C.E.) to the French colonization (1830 Algeria/1912 Morocco.). The Exile is not a formal history but a chronological anthology of documents drawn from literary (section A) and archival sources (section B), many of which are published for the first time. In section A, Arabic and Hebrew chronicles, Muslim legal, and theological texts are followed by the accounts culled from European travelers—captives, diplomats, doctors, clerics, and adventurers. Each document is introduced and annotated in such a way as to bring out its importance. The second section (B) reflects the diplomatic activity deployed by humanitarian organizations in favour of North African Jewry. Spanning the 19th and early 20th centuries, these are mainly drawn from the archives of the Alliance Israélite Universelle (Paris) and the Anglo-Jewish Association (London). The documents are richly elucidated with illustrations taken from the international press. The book presents a new and illuminating insight into the status of Jews under the Crescent. The Jews of North Africa were the only minority under Islam, in this region and their history reflects Judaism's exclusive encounter with Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans l'abondante littérature que suscite le Maroc à la fin du XVIIIè siècle, le Voyage de Potocki, effectué en 1791 et publié à Varsovie en 1792, occupe une place particulière. L'originalité du récit vient de la riche et foisonnante personnalité de l'auteur : noble polonais, francophone, érudit et grand voyageur, passant du cabinet d'études aux grands chemins, des ambassades à la cour, il incarne l'image la plus accomplie de la classe éclairée de l'Europe du temps. L'ouvrage retient par la perfection d'une narration où se mêlent, avec une habileté qui annonce la subtilité et la complexité du Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse (son grand œuvre), les détails concrets, les impressions générales, les considérations sur le sort des peuples et l'ethnologie historique. Le style de Potocki, alerte et vif, rappelle le meilleur de la littérature épistolaire du siècle. L'ouvrage porte encore la marque des lumières mais annonce déjà les nostalgies romantiques. Il est un élément important de cette archéologie du savoir sur laquelle se construira l'image du Maroc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journal d'un voyage entrepris par Jean Potocki à travers le Maroc en 1791. Journal du voyage que l'auteur entreprit au Maroc en 1791. On y trouve des portraits, des récits, des notations ethnologiques, politiques, historiques, botaniques etc. Outre sa belle qualité littéraire, ce texte, qui dénote une rare érudition et un sens aigu de l'observation, constitue un document historique d'une grande valeur sur le règne du souverain alaouïte Moulay Yazid. Plongez dans ce journal de voyage et profitez d'une foule d'informations politiques, historiques, botaniques ou encore culturelles relatives au Maroc du dix-huitième siècle. EXTRAIT Les insectes de ce désert sont infiniment plus grands que leurs homogènes européens, mais je n’ai pas appris qu’il y en eût de malfaisants, à l’exception des scorpions qui se tiennent sous les pierres. Et la chasse d’un naturaliste est bien mauvaise si, en soulevant une douzaine de pierres, il ne rencontre pas quelque individu de cette espèce très redoutée par les gens du pays. Ce dangereux crustacé paraît être ici dans son climat naturel. Il n’a point l’air endormi comme les petits scorpions noirs que j’ai vus en Italie, mais tous ses mouvements ont au contraire une vivacité effrayante. Nous sommes campés à une petite distance d’un lac d’eau salée qui communique ou ne communique pas avec la mer, selon qu’il plaît à un marabout enterré dans les environs. Voilà toutes les lumières que j’ai pu me procurer sur ce phénomène hiéro-physique. Il y a autour de nous beaucoup de tentes arabes, mais leur aspect n’est pas le même que celui des adouars que nous avions vus jusqu’à présent, car les vents dont rien, dans ces plaines, ne peut arrêter la force obligent les habitants d’entourer chaque tente d’un haut rempart de roseaux. Ils cultivent peu la terre et mènent une vie plus purement pastorale. Le caïd Jilali, qui commande toute cette province avec le titre de pacha, a envoyé des compliments à l’ambassadeur et un présent considérable consistant en chevaux, bœufs, moutons, poules, fruits, etc. Mohammed Zouine m’en a assigné une portion considérable, ainsi qu’il fait toujours, et, selon l’usage reçu, je les donne au chef de mon escorte. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Né en 1761, grand seigneur polonais d'éducation française, le comte Jean Potocki fut savant, artiste et homme politique. Après une enfance aristocratique, il fit des études en Suisse, en langue française, et connut une jeunesse militaire en Hongrie. Il fut le fondateur des études de langues et civilisations slaves, publiant une série de travaux importants étayés par des recherches ethnologiques, historiques et linguistiques effectuées sur le terrain. Amateur de voyages, et grand amateur de contes et de traditions populaires, Potocki en écouta et en nota à Constantinople, en Tunisie, en Espagne, au Maroc ou en Europe Centrale. Il publia également des récits de voyage (cf. Voyage dans l'empire de Maroc ; Voyage en Turquie et en Égypte). En 1789, il fonde à Varsovie un club politique progressiste et une « imprimerie libre », et publiera quelques pamphlets. En 1804, la situation politique ayant changé, il offre ses services au tsar, préconisant la conquête, dans un but civilisateur et commercial, d'une grande partie de l'Asie (dont l'Afghanistan). Il écrit dans sa jeunesse un Recueil de Parades, une opérette (Les Bohémiens d'Andalousie) et quelques contes et apologues, et travaille dès 1797 au Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse, achevé peu avant sa mort, mais resté inédit. Il se suicide en 1815.

Download or read book Memoirs of the Verney Family During the Civil War written by Frances Parthenope Verney and published by . This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other family, the Verney's - a dynasty of Buckinghamshire squires - embody the tragic conflicts and divided loyalties of the English Civil War. The family patriarch, Sir Edmund Verney, was a courtier and former close friend of King Charles I, even accompanying Charles on his fruitless marriage mission to Madrid when he attempted to woo the Spanish Infanta. However, as MP for Wycombe, Verney often found himself in opposition to Royal policy - and as a staunch Protestant particularly deplored Charles' devotion to High Anglicanism and Bishops. However, when the push of Parliamentary politics came to the shove of Civil War, Verney reluctantly placed his loyalty to the Crown above his conscience, telling a friend: 'For my part I do not like the quarrel and do heartily wish that the King would yield and consent to what they [Parliament] desire... [but] I have eaten his bread and served him near thirty years, and will not do so base a thing as to forsake him; and choose rather to lose my Life (which I am sure I shall do) to preserve and defend those things, which are against my conscience to preserve and defend'. Sure enough, in accordance with his own prophecy Verney did die in the Civil War's first battle, Edgehill. According to legend, he defended the Royal Standard so stoutly that his severed hand was found still clutching it after the battle. Verney's eldest son and heir, Sir Ralph, also an MP, was a stout Parliamentarian; but his younger brother, Edmund junior. was a passionate Royalist who died at the hands of Cromwell's troops in the massacre that followed the storming of Drogheda in Ireland. This two-volume family history, published in 1892, and much drawn upon by Civil War historians, tells the story of the conflicted family's fortunes - and the tragic wounds inflicted on close families who find themselves 'by the sword divided'.
