Book excerpt: The dawn of the French Revolution brought forth a cataclysmic storm that raged across the nation, shaking its foundations to their core. What most people didn't realize, and still don't realize until this day, is the fact that there were regions in France that were not all too pleased with the fact that the French Revolution effectively brought an end to the Ancien Régime, which was what the 'powers that be' were called in France at the time until the bourgeoisie (middle class) stepped in and changed everything. The French Revolution can be considered to be one of the most consuming blazes that tore through the fabric of not only French, but also European Society, challenging traditions, values, and beliefs. In the midst of this turmoil, from the ashes of a crumbling monarchy, emerged a new era, promising liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, within the revolutionary fervor that swept through France, there lay a darkness that threatened to engulf the very soul of the nation. Amidst the chaos and fervent cries for change, a sinister cloud loomed over a small region, the idyllic region of Vendée. Nestled in the western part of France with its lush green landscapes and picturesque villages Vendée, seeming worlds away from the revolutionary fervor that gripped Paris, became the stage for a harrowing battle that pitted brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. It was a clash that would forever be etched in the annals of history as the War in Vendée, an epic struggle fought between the forces of the Revolution and the steadfast defenders of their faith. Sad that, as the winds of change blew across the land, even this tranquil haven could not escape the tendrils of conflict. "The Cross and the Guillotine" unravels the distressing tale of Vendée, a gripping tale of this forgotten war within a region torn between tradition and revolution, faith and intention, loyalty and rebellion, where principles clashed, loyalties were tested, and the very soul of a nation hung in the balance. Against the backdrop of an impending war, it transports us to a time when the guillotine loomed ominously over the French people, its blade thirsty for the blood of those deemed enemies of the Revolution. But amidst the chaos and violence, a group of devout Catholics, known as the Chouans, rallied under the sacred symbol of the cross, resisting the revolutionary tide that sought to drown their belief.

Book Synopsis To Quell the Terror: The Mystery of the Vocation of the Sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne Guillotined July 17, 1794 by : William Bush
Download or read book To Quell the Terror: The Mystery of the Vocation of the Sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne Guillotined July 17, 1794 written by William Bush and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the dramatic true story of the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Compiègne, martyred during the French Revolution's "Great Terror," and known to the world through their fictional representation in Gertrud von Le Fort's Song at the Scaffold and Francis Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites. At the height of the French Revolution's "Great Terror," a community of sixteen Carmelite nuns from Compiègne offered their lives to restore peace to the church and to France. Ten days after their deaths by the guillotine, Robespierre fell, and with his execution on the same scaffold the Reign of Terror effectively ended. Had God thus accepted and used the Carmelites' generous self-gift? Through Gertrud von Le Fort's modern novella, Song at the Scaffold, and Francis Poulenc's famed opera, Dialogues of the Carmelites, (with its libretto by Georges Bernanos), modern audiences around the world have become captivated by the mysterious destiny of these Compiègne martyrs, Blessed Teresa of St. Augustine and her companions. Now, for the first time in English, William Bush explores at length the facts behind the fictional representations, and reflects on their spiritual significance. Based on years of research, this book recounts in lively detail virtually all that is known of the life and background of each of the martyrs, as well as the troubled times in which they lived. The Compiègne Carmelites, sustained by their remarkable prioress, emerge as distinct individuals, struggling as Christians to understand and respond to an awesome calling, relying not on their own strength but on the mercy of God and the guiding hand of Providence. The book includes an index and 15 photos.

Book Synopsis Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond by : Michèle Lowrie
Download or read book Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond written by Michèle Lowrie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can civil war ever be overcome? Can a better order come into being? This book explores how the Roman civil wars of the first century BCE laid the template for addressing perennially urgent questions. The Roman Republic's collapse and Augustus' new Empire have remained ideological battlegrounds to this day. Integrative and disintegrative readings begun in antiquity (Vergil and Lucan) have left their mark on answers given by Christians (Augustine), secular republicans (Victor Hugo), and disillusioned satirists (Michel Houellebecq) alike. France's self-understanding as a new Rome – republican during the Revolution, imperial under successive Napoleons – makes it a special case in the Roman tradition. The same story returns repeatedly. A golden age of restoration glimmers on the horizon, but comes in the guise of a decadent, oriental empire that reintroduces and exposes everything already wrong under the defunct republic. Central to the price of social order is patriarchy's need to subjugate women.
