César Birotteau, parfumeur enrichi par ses découvertes qui font fureur, et auquel on va remettre la Légion d'honneur, décide de transformer sa maison bourgeoise en véritable palais pour donner à la fin de l'année 1818 un bal à l'occasion du retrait des troupes d'occupation de France. Ses dépenses somptuaires, qui effraient sa femme et son fidèle employé Anselme Popinot (secrètement amoureux de Mademoiselle Birotteau), lui donnent un vertige d'ambition qui l'amène à risquer toute sa fortune. Le notaire maître Roguin flaire en Birotteau une dupe potentielle, et il l'entraîne dans une affaire de spéculation immobilière dans le quartier de la Madeleine à Paris. Birotteau a en effet besoin d'argent car les travaux de transformation de sa maison et le nouveau train de vie qu'il veut y mener ont sérieusement entamé son patrimoine.Par une habile double manœuvre, le notaire escroc détourne toutes les économies du parfumeur sans lui donner de reçu, avant de disparaître. L'instigateur du complot contre Birotteau est un de ses anciens employés congédié pour vol : du Tillet, maintenant admis dans les hautes sphères de la Banque et qui achève sa vengeance en sapant le crédit de son ancien patron auprès des banques. Sans possibilité d'emprunt, le parfumeur ne peut, malgré le dévouement de son oncle Pillerault, de sa femme, de sa fille, se tirer d'affaire. Il est obligé de vendre sa boutique La Reine des roses au commis qui a remplacé Anselme Popinot : Célestin Crevel. Mais Anselme Popinot, qui dirige maintenant une succursale va le sauver. Aidé du génial vendeur Félix Gaudissart, il met au point et commercialise une huile de son invention qui fait fureur à son tour, comme les découvertes de Birotteau. Popinot passe des jours et des nuits à fabriquer, dans le secret, l'huile de noisette dont il reverse les bénéfices à César Birotteau. Aidé par six mille francs qu'offre Louis XVIII au fidèle royaliste, Birotteau rembourse tous ses créanciers, est finalement réhabilité en 1823 et reprend sa Légion d'honneur. Mais terrassé par cette bataille, il meurt au jour de son triomphe, laissant le commerce prospère et la dignité de son nom en héritage à sa fille et au fidèle Popinot.

Collecting David Harvey's finest work on Paris during the second empire, Paris, Capital of Modernity offers brilliant insights ranging from the birth of consumerist spectacle on the Parisian boulevards, the creative visions of Balzac, Baudelaire and Zola, and the reactionary cultural politics of the bombastic Sacre Couer. The book is heavily illustrated and includes a number drawings, portraits and cartoons by Daumier, one of the greatest political caricaturists of the nineteenth century.

In nineteenth-century Paris, passionate involvement with revolution turned the city into an engrossing object of cultural speculation. For writers caught between an explosive past and a bewildering future, revolution offered a virtuoso metaphor by which the city could be known and a vital principle through which it could be portrayed. In this engaging book, Priscilla Ferguson locates the originality and modernity of nineteenth-century French literature in the intersection of the city with revolution. A cultural geography, Paris as Revolution "reads" the nineteenth-century city not in literary works alone but across a broad spectrum of urban icons and narratives. Ferguson moves easily between literary and cultural history and between semiotic and sociological analysis to underscore the movement and change that fueled the powerful narratives defining the century, the city, and their literature. In her understanding and reconstruction of the guidebooks of Mercier, Hugo, Vallès, and others, alongside the novels of Flaubert, Hugo, Vallès, and Zola, Ferguson reveals that these works are themselves revolutionary performances, ones that challenged the modernizing city even as they transcribed its emergence. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Between 1793 and 1794, thousands of French citizens were imprisoned and hundreds sent to the guillotine by a powerful dictatorship that claimed to be acting in the public interest. Only a few years earlier, revolutionaries had proclaimed a new era of tolerance, equal justice, and human rights. How and why did the French Revolution’s lofty ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity descend into violence and terror? “By attending to the role of emotions in propelling the Terror, Tackett steers a more nuanced course than many previous historians have managed...Imagined terrors, as...Tackett very usefully reminds us, can have even more political potency than real ones.” —David A. Bell, The Atlantic “[Tackett] analyzes the mentalité of those who became ‘terrorists’ in 18th-century France...In emphasizing weakness and uncertainty instead of fanatical strength as the driving force behind the Terror...Tackett...contributes to an important realignment in the study of French history.” —Ruth Scurr, The Spectator “[A] boldly conceived and important book...This is a thought-provoking book that makes a major contribution to our understanding of terror and political intolerance, and also to the history of emotions more generally. It helps expose the complexity of a revolution that cannot be adequately understood in terms of principles alone.” —Alan Forrest, Times Literary Supplement
