Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray – författare

In 1871, the working class of Paris, incensed by their lack of political power and tired of being exploited, seized control of the capital. This book is the outstanding history of the Commune, theheroic battles fought in its defence, and the bloody massacre that ended the uprising. Its author, Lissagaray, was a young journalist who not only saw the events recounted here first-hand, but fought for the Commune on the barricades. He spent the next twenty-five years researching and writing this history, which refutes the slanders levelled at the Communards by the ruling classes and is a vivid and valuable study in urban political revolution, one that retains its power to inspire to this day.This revised edition, translated by Eleanor Marx, includes a foreword by the writer and publisher Eric Hazan.

L''Alsace est persue, la Moselle découverte, ERmile Ollivier a convoqué le Corps législatif. Depuis onze heure du matin, Paris tient la place de la Concorde, les quais, la rue de Bourgogne, encercle le Palais-Bourbon."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARANLes éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de qualité de grands livres de la littérature classique mais également des livres rares en partenariat avec la BNF.

Esta es la historia de una rebelion, de las batallas libradas en su defensa y de la sangrienta masacre que puso fin al levantamiento. En 1871, la clase obrera de Paris, enfurecida por su falta de poder politico y cansada de ser explotada, tomo el control de la capital. La Comuna -es decir, el gobierno revolucionario que se hizo del poder- goberno Paris durante dos meses y establecio politicas que tendian hacia un sistema progresista y antirreligioso de su autodenominado socialismo; ademas, diseno e implemento politicas que incluian la separacion de la Iglesia y el Estado, la autovigilancia, la condonacion de alquileres, la abolicion del trabajo infantil y el derecho de los obreros a tomar empresas abandonadas. Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray, autor de esta obra, fue testigo directo de los acontecimientos, lucho por la Comuna en las barricadas y paso los veinticinco anos siguientes escribiendo su historia, investigando y completando un relato que es tambien una revision de todas las corrientes del pensamiento social involucradas, de todos los enfrentamientos internos, y un balance de los logros y de los intentos que caracterizaron a la Comuna.
