Fouche: The silences of the octopus (Paperback)

Customer Review

There are two types of biographers and writers historiens.Au forefront of the first, Stefan Zweig, and first of his biographies that of Fouche ... This means if Waresquiel Emmanuel, who both! "caps" (writer and historian) confronts stronger party!
Like that of the Austrian author, this biography is very well written but the specialists through, namely that it drowns us in detail, probably essential for historians but whose philistine has no use, all this compounded by the ubiquitous notes, all condensed end of the book (note that the digital version which does not refer directly to these notes by touching them is poorly made and therefore not advisable).
Zweig, who was not professional historian had the biography of Madelin and had romancée.On there was pieces of bravery, as the Lyon repression, abject episode of the Revolution, the tarnishing forever a shame indélébile.Cela, Zweig described the suffering admirablement.On with Lyon at the time, we lived their horrible agony, we were horrified by the atrocities.
Waresquiel describing those acts with the coldness of the historian, but at no time were beginning to suspect any compassion.Les facts, nothing but the facts, and that's true for all of the work.
This biography nevertheless worth reading to rehabilitate a person who was not a terrorist regicide doubled without a weather vane vergogne.Ce was above all a great statesman, almost as much concerned about the fate of his country by on his own.
