The Democrat, or Intrigues and Adventures of Jean Le Noir, Vol. 1 of 2
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a satirical journey through the social and political landscape of England during the late 18th century, a time marked by the aftermath of the French Revolution and a burgeoning spirit of democratic reform. The author uses a fictional French emissary, Jean Le Noir, as a vehicle to expose the hypocrisy and contradictions of English society, particularly among those who champion liberty and equality. Le Noir's travels through England expose a fascinating blend of political ideologies. He encounters a diverse cast of characters, from staunch Jacobite loyalists clinging to the past, to ardent Whigs who believe in the supremacy of Parliament, to a motley crew of self-proclaimed democrats who, in their zeal for equality, overlook the complexities of social order. The author meticulously highlights the prevailing political discourse, with its inherent tensions, contradictions, and often-absurd arguments. As Le Noir's journey unfolds, the author uses a blend of humor and keen observation to illuminate the complexities of English society, its flaws, and its aspirations for change. The book offers a timeless commentary on the human condition, particularly the difficulty in achieving true equality and the pitfalls of utopian ideals.
