Excerpt from Gambetta, Life and Letters Two women, Mme. Leonie Léon and Mme. Juliette Adam, claim to have tamed the lion amowreua: and taught him how to behave like a gentleman. The former was for ten years his faithful companion; his letters prove to us that in her he found encouragement before the battle and sweet consolation after he had sacrificed his all and received worse than nothing - ingratitude - in return. And yet we cannot help thinking that his position must have suffered from being unable to take her into society - that respectable, middle-class society with its rigid code of morals.

Excerpt from Gambetta: And the Foundation of the Third Republic The lad's mother, whose influence on her son's whole life was as powerful as it was unobtrusive, is alleged to have taught him his letters but she did not Charge herself with the whole burden of his early education, for he was only four when he was sent to a school kept by the Peres du Sacre Coeur de Picpus, one of whom was eventually murdered in the Commune. The choice indicates no specific religious attitude on the part of the parents. It seems to have been the only infant school avail able, and the fact that his father supplied it with groceries secured the boy's admission at a reduced fee. After five years' attendance he was withdrawn and sent to the seminary of Mont faucon. Here again no religious motive was at work. This school, too, was among the father's customers, and fear of losing its patronage, combined with satisfactory terms and the fact that a larger establishment was better suited to a growing lad, induced him to make the transfer. Legend, however, which at once gets busy with a man of Gambetta's origin and character, has it that the boy threatened to destroy the sight of his remaining eye unless he was withdrawn from priestly control. It is a pretty story, but the accident occurred almost midway through the boy's term at the seminary. Besides, the good fathers were doing their work well. Gambetta's earliest letters, which belong to the Montfaucon period, are full of Scriptural references. With a child's quick ness in imitation he has exactly caught the parsonic tone, though a hint of his mature temperament is given by the zest with which he tells a story. To this time belong his first political opinions - all expressed with characteristic emphasis. He followed the moving events of 1848 with intense interest. Cavaignac was his hero, and he was unrestrained in his abuse of Louis Napoleon, who was as stupid as an ostrich, and had a foreign accent. All this was much to his father's taste, but the lad went too far when he burnt the hated Bonaparte in effigy, a piece of daring for which he narrowly escaped expulsion.

A humiliating military defeat by Bismarck's Germany, a brutal siege, and a bloody uprising—Paris in 1871 was a shambles, and the question loomed, "Could this extraordinary city even survive?" With the addition of an evocative new preface, Mary McAuliffe takes the reader 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 César Ritz, we witness their struggles with the forces of tradition during the final years of a century hurtling towards its close. Through rich illustrations and vivid narrative, McAuliffe brings this vibrant and seminal era to life.
