Clemenceau (Classic Reprint) by Camille Ducray Pdf

Excerpt from Clemenceau There are few lives that have been so full of incident as that of Georges Clemenceau. There are few men that have had so many, such diverse, and such opposing careers. Clemenceau made his mark first under the Empire, and remained the outstanding figure during the Commune, the Republic, and in the War. Under each regime and in every task he undertook he was in the forefront of all the greatest happenings of the day and was always the principal actor. He has been an inveterate fighter all his life; he takes a bitter pleasure in the struggle for the survival of the fittest, for he has a tremendous feeling that it is his destiny to fight and that he has the power to fulfil his destiny.

Clemenceau, the Man and His Time (Classic Reprint) by H. M. Hyndman Pdf

Excerpt from Clemenceau, the Man and His Time I read therefore with some amusement in Mrs. Humphry Ward's recent book of Victorian Ketol lections that, having met Clemenceau at dinner, in the eighties, she came the conclusion that he was too light a weight to ride such a horse as the French democ racy. A very natural mistake, no doubt, for one of us staid and solemn Victorians to make, according to the young cynics and jesters of today who gird at us! It is precisely this inexhaustible fund of animal spirits and his never-failing cheerfulness and brilliancy which have given Clemenceau the power over France which he pos sesses to-day. Frenchmen have felt the more assured confidence in themselves and their future when they saw. Day after day, their own representative and ruler full of go and of belief in himself at the time when the issue for them all was hanging in the balance. No real leader of men can ever aliord to be a pessimist. He must assume a certitude if he have it not. There was no need for Clemenceau to assume anything. It was all there.

The Truth About the Treaty (Classic Reprint) by Andre Tardieu Pdf

Excerpt from The Truth About the Treaty There are others who may be able to write as accurately and as interestingly concerning events which led up to the World War and the war itself, bat there is no Frenchman, save Clemenceau, who can write with so much authority concerning the Peace Treaty, signed at Versailles, June 28, 1919, as Andre Tardieu. M. Tardieu gets nothing second-hand. He was a participant in the events of which he writes. As a member of the Chamber of Deputies, he knew the currents of French political life, and he can write understandingly of the causes leading up to the great conflict. As an officer in the French Army, he can speak authoritatively of that glorious page in history of which he was a part. This training served him well when he was called to assume a foremost role in the making of the peace. No man worked with more tireless energy, and none had a better grasp of the delicate and complex problems brought before the Congress. He was not only invaluable to France, but to his associates from other countries as well. He was in all truth the one nearly indispensable man at the Conference. Therefore, if one would know of those fateful days in Paris when the Allies of France had gathered from the ends of the earth to have their reckoning with the Central Powers, it would be well to read The Truth about the Treaty, for here it is told by him who knows.

The Clemenceau Case by Alexandre Dumas fils Pdf

The Clemenceau Case (1866) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas fils. Partly inspired by his own life, the novel takes the form of a letter written from prison to a powerful judge. Looking back on his experiences as an illegitimate child, Pierre Clemenceau provides a scathing critique of French society for its treatment of women and children. Born out of wedlock, Pierre Clemenceau is raised by a mother who tells him he has no father. Clemenceau is educated at a local school until the age of ten, at which point he is sent to a prominent boarding school for boys. There, he struggles to make friends and suffers bullying at the hands of a young American. Tortured day and night, Pierre grows distrustful and violent, and soon turns to a life of crime. As he relates the story of his life to a powerful judge, he declares himself innocent due to the circumstance surrounding his birth, and maintains the following: “My true crime...for which earthly justice will not pursue me, but for which I will never pardon myself nor those who impelled me to, is that I have doubted, and sometimes blushed for my mother.” Filled with regret, he looks for answers from the society that made him doubt his mother in the first place, a society which allows men to escape the responsibilities of fatherhood with impunity. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alexandre Dumas fils’ The Clemenceau Case is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Flickers of Desire by Jennifer M. Bean Pdf

Today, we are so accustomed to consuming the amplified lives of film stars that the origins of the phenomenon may seem inevitable in retrospect. But the conjunction of the terms "movie" and "star" was inconceivable prior to the 1910s. Flickers of Desire explores the emergence of this mass cultural phenomenon, asking how and why a cinema that did not even run screen credits developed so quickly into a venue in which performers became the American film industry's most lucrative mode of product individuation. Contributors chart the rise of American cinema's first galaxy of stars through a variety of archival sources--newspaper columns, popular journals, fan magazines, cartoons, dolls, postcards, scrapbooks, personal letters, limericks, and dances. The iconic status of Charlie Chaplin's little tramp, Mary Pickford's golden curls, Pearl White's daring stunts, or Sessue Hayakawa's expressionless mask reflect the wild diversity of a public's desired ideals, while Theda Bara's seductive turn as the embodiment of feminine evil, George Beban's performance as a sympathetic Italian immigrant, or G. M. Anderson's creation of the heroic cowboy/outlaw character transformed the fantasies that shaped American filmmaking and its vital role in society.
