À propos de cet audio

A humiliating military defeat by Bismarck's Germany, a brutal siege, and a bloody uprising - Paris in 1871 was in shambles, and the question loomed, "Could this extraordinary city even survive?"

Mary McAuliffe takes the listener back to these perilous years following the abrupt collapse of the Second Empire and France's uncertain venture into the Third Republic. By 1900, Paris had recovered, and the Belle Epoque was in full flower, but the decades between were difficult, marked by struggles between republicans and monarchists, the Republic and the Church, and an ongoing economic malaise, darkened by a rising tide of virulent anti-Semitism.

Yet these same years also witnessed an extraordinary blossoming in art, literature, poetry, and music, with the Parisian cultural scene dramatically upended by revolutionaries such as Monet, Zola, Rodin, and Debussy, even while Gustave Eiffel was challenging architectural tradition with his iconic tower.

Through the eyes of these pioneers and others, including Sarah Bernhardt, Georges Clemenceau, Marie Curie, and Cesar Ritz, we witness their struggles with the forces of tradition during the final years of a century hurtling towards its close.

Absolutely outstanding. In addition to the art history I was seeking, I learned about other momentous events and the surrounding cultural context of the time. I came to finally grasp the Dreyfus Affair, which I have been piecing together over the years. Both Émile Zola and Alfred Dreyfus are discussed, and I now get who Zola was, beyond the fact that he was an author. I found Claude Debussy’s story interesting, in that he was fighting resistance to his new music, much like the impressionists were doing at the time. I also enjoyed learning more about Sarah Bernhardt. Of course, the art history was rich, and the main highlight. This is the second book about Paris I’ve read by the author… and I have the next one already in my queue. Highly recommended.
