Produktbeschreibung

During the hardships of the Franco-Prussian War, working-class radicalism grew among soldiers. In March 1871, soldiers of the National Guard seized control of the city. They refused to accept the authority of the French government instead of attempting to establish an independent government. These events entered history under the name of the Paris Commune of 1871. The Commune governed Paris for two months. Their policies were directed toward a progressive, anti-religious system of social democracy, including the separation of church and state, self-policing, the remission of rent during the siege, the abolition of child labor, and the right of employees to take over an enterprise deserted by its owner. The Commune was eventually suppressed by the French national Army in May 1871. This book presents the history of Commune from the point of view of the participants.

Autorenporträt

Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray, most commonly known as Lissagaray, was a notable French journalist and historian, born on November 24, 1838, in Toulouse, France, and dying on January 25, 1901. Lissagaray is best recognized for his vivid and meticulously researched account of the Paris Commune of 1871, an event that marked a profound political and social upheaval in France, leading to the establishment of a brief revolutionary government. Lissagaray's commitment to the socialist cause and his direct involvement in the events he later chronicled give his work, 'History of the Commune of 1871' (originally 'Histoire de la Commune de 1871'), a unique perspective within the historical literature of the period. Published in 1876, the book has been celebrated for its detailed reporting and critical analysis, contributing to the historiography of the Commune by providing a rigorously documented leftist perspective. Lissagaray's narrative not only delves into the political and social dynamics of the insurrection but also humanizes the movement by presenting personal anecdotes of the combatants and civilians involved. His literary style, characterized by its precision, engaging prose, and fervent advocacy for the working class, has rendered his work an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of 19th-century revolutionary France.
