4.9/5 (31229 ratings)

Description:France's Dreyfus Affair (1894-1906) has become a fable of sorts for modern democratic society, with a moral designed to fit its never-ending quest for justice and truth. While countless books have chronicled the wrongful conviction of French military officer Alfred Dreyfus, his ensuing trials, and his eventual exoneration, this distinctive volume examines the Affair with a critical eye, analyzing the actions of its main protagonists, the rise of the public intellectual, and the Affair's continued relevance. After a brief overview of the events to establish the poisoned ideological climate of the day, the work explores how intellectuals like Bernard Lazare, Emile Zola, and others contributed to the Affair, defining both it and themselves in the process. With mini-portraits of the key players and a detailed chronology, this telling volume combines rigorous scholarship with cultural commentary to demonstrate the continued relevance of the example set by Dreyfus and his many supporters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
