Viac o knihe

The 19th century in France was marked by significant socio-political upheaval, particularly following the 1870 war, which profoundly impacted the nation's political, social, economic, and literary spheres. The defeat in this conflict initiated a crisis in French thought that persisted until the Great War, ultimately influencing global events leading to World War II. The literary community, like the broader populace, was deeply affected by these tumultuous changes and could not remain passive amid the national turmoil.
