Original Wrappers. Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Edition. 622 pages. With former owner's name on front free endpaper. Occasional annotation in pencil. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. Spine lightly creased. ; Paperback; Octavo (standard book size); Lorsque Thiers meurt en 1877 aprÅs avoir dominÄ plus d+un demi-siÅcle de vie politique, l+affliction est quasi unanime: la patrie vient de perdre un grand homme qui a voulu empÉcher la guerre de 1870, a libÄrÄ le territoire, relevÄ la France en trois annÄes et fondÄ la RÄpublique. Mais cette image se dÄgrade vite: les statues que les municipalitÄs ont dÄcidÄ d+Älever en son honneur sont bien rarement ÄrigÄes. De nos jours, il apparaöt comme un bourgeois ÄtriquÄ et Ägoòste, un mÄdiocre qui n+a jamais eu l+avenir ê l+esprit, comme le massacreur allÅgre de la Commune. C+est oublier la figure du libÄral de la Restauration, de l+animateur des Trois Glorieuses, de l+apÖtre de la libertÄ sous Louis-Philippe et NapolÄon III, du brillant orateur, du journaliste ê la plume meurtriÅre, de l+historien de trÅs haut niveau (avec son Histoire du Consulat et de l+Empire, la premiÅre du genre) , de l+ami des romantiques. De tous les hommes d+âtat du xixe siÅcle, sans doute est-il celui qui en incarne le mieux les contradictions, les hÄsitations: ordre ou mouvement, progrÅs ou conservation? Ancien professeur ê l+universitÄ d+Aix-Marseille, Pierre Guiral est spÄcialiste de la vie politique en France au xixe et au xxe siÅcle. Il a publiÄ, ê cÖtÄ d+ouvrages d+Ärudition et d+histoire rÄgionale, plusieurs Vie Quotidienne (A l+Age d+or du Capitalisme; des Domestiques au XIXe; des Professeurs en France) , etc.

Pas de couverture. Condition: Assez bon. Edition originale. William GLADSTONE Lettre autographe signée à Georgina Weldon - Adolphe Thiers, Gounod et musique - 1871 William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), homme d'État britannique qui joua un rôle majeur dans son pays dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. 4 fois Premier ministre, il fut le défenseur des couches populaires et des catholiques irlandais de l'Angleterre victorienne. Gladstone uvra à faire du Royaume-Uni une démocratie parlementaire accomplie, fondée sur l'alternance politique. Lettre autographe signée, 4 p in 8, 5 octobre 1871, en tête « Aboyne Castle, Aberdeenshire N B », adressée à Miss g Weldon* (l amie de Gounod), en anglais, fente au bas de la pliure centrale. Gladstone répond à 2 requêtes à Miss Weldon, l une concernant sa mise en relations avec le célèbre homme politique français Adolphe Thiers, Président de la République Française après la chute de l Empire, avec lequel il n a eu que peu de rapports jusqu à présent. L autre concerne Gounod et la musique, Gladstone évoque notamment la « perfection de l art musical ». [] I am afraid I must ask you to [take] other [for] a personal introduction to M. Thiers simply because my acquaintance with him has been so light and formal []. With respect to your second request, after reading M. Gounod s very interesting letter, my only feeling x to cumpliance is an unwillingness to x to add to what seems to require [] that contributes to perfection in the musical art, is much beyond my praise, but it has always x very crucial admiration and it would be to me matter of great [] ». * Georgina Weldon (1837-1914), soprano britannique de l époque victorienne. Ami intime du grand musicien Charles Gounod. Please note that shipping outside European Union countries will require an export licence from the Ministry of Culture, which can take up to 2 months.
