Download or read book Surviving the French Revolution written by Bette W. Oliver and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unleashing of the French Revolution in 1789 resulted in the acceleration of time coupled with an inability to predict what might happen next. As unprecedented events outpaced the days, those caught up in the whirlwind had little time to make judicious decisions about which course of action to follow. The lack of reliable information and delays in communication between Paris and the provinces only exacerbated the situation. Consequently, some fled into exile in Europe and the United States, while others remained to take advantage of new opportunities provided by the revolutionary government. Between 1789 and 1794, the government moved from a position of hopeful cooperation to one of desperate measures instigated during the Terror of 1793–1794. As a result, those French citizens who had fled early in the revolution, including many aristocrats and the king's brothers, as well as the artist Elisabeth Vigee-LeBrun, could not return until many years later, while those who had remained, such as Vigée-LeBrun’s husband, the art dealer Jean-Baptiste Pierre LeBrun, as well as the artist Jacques-Louis David, the writers Sébastien Chamfort and André Chénier, and expelled Girondin deputies, chose survival strategies that they hoped would be successful. For all those concerned, timing was key to survival, and those who lived found that they had crossed a bridge between the Ancien Régime and the beginning of the modern world. It would not be possible to grasp the full import of the period between 1789 and 1795 until time had decelerated to a more reasonable level after the fall of Robespierre in 1794. Yet few could have then imagined that almost one hundred years would pass before a stable French republic would be established.
Download or read book Sonnets Across Time written by StoryBuddiesPlay and published by StoryBuddiesPlay. This book was released on 2024-06-09 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the neon-drenched year 2180, Amara, a brilliant linguist, stumbles upon a dusty artifact – an ancient manuscript. As she deciphers its cryptic code, she discovers it's not just a text, but a bridge across time. Through the power of the manuscript, Amara finds herself connected to Elias, a passionate poet from the 1700s. Their initial exchanges crackle with wonder. Amara describes a world of gleaming chrome and dazzling technology, while Elias paints vivid pictures of a bygone era, filled with horse-drawn carriages and candlelit soirées. Their letters, filled with wit and curiosity, blossom into a unique and profound bond. Despite the centuries separating them, Amara and Elias find solace in each other's words. Amara shares the loneliness of a world dominated by technology, while Elias expresses his longing for a world brimming with the beauty and rawness of nature, a concept almost forgotten in Amara's time. As their connection deepens, a forbidden romance ignites. They navigate the vast cultural and temporal gaps, sharing dreams and aspirations across the centuries. The manuscript becomes their lifeline, a portal where their souls meet and their love flourishes. But their connection is fraught with challenges. The technology that allows them to communicate is unstable, and the threat of the link severing looms large. Can their love transcend the boundaries of time, or will their connection fade into a mere whisper of what could have been?
Download or read book Of Bridges written by Thomas Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Always," wrote Philip Larkin, "it is by bridges that we live." Bridges represent our aspirations to connect, to soar across divides. And it is the unfinished business of these aspirations that makes bridges such stirring sights, especially when they are marvels of ingenuity. A rich compendium of myths, superstitions, literary and ideological figurations, as well as architectural and musical illustrations, Of Bridges organizes a poetic and philosophical history of bridges into nine thematic clusters. Leaping in lucid prose between seemingly unrelated times and places, Thomas Harrison gives a panoramic account of the diverse meanings and valences of human bridges, questioning why they are built and where they lead. He investigates bridges as flashpoints in war and the mega-bridges of our globalized world. He probes links forged by religion between life's transience and eternity and the consolidating ties of music, illustrated in a case study of the blues. He illuminates the real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day and the affective connections that make persons and societies cohere. In fine and intricate readings of literature, philosophy, art, and geography, Harrison engages in a profound reflection on how bridges form and transform cultural communities. Interdisciplinary and deeply lyrical, Of Bridges is a mesmerizing, vertiginous tale of bridges both visible and invisible, both lived and imagined.
