Démosthène

Rate this book
Démosthène, naît dans une famille athénienne riche et commerçante, est l'un des plus grands orateurs attiques. Cicéron le considère comme le premier des orateurs grecs. La dénonciation du danger macédonien constitue la clef de l'oeuvre politique de Démosthène, dénonce avec vigueur les travers du système démocratique athénien. Il accuse les "politiques" d'asservir le peuple à leurs desseins, alors qu'auparavant le peuple lui-même était maître de son destin. Il se rapproche des démocrates modérés, et parfois, il se place parmi les radicaux en dénonçant l'égoïsme des riches Athéniens qui refusent d'armer des trières et des troupes. Démosthène répondit à la guerre par la guerre parce que la soumission à la force brutale ne peut donner qu'une paix d'avilissement.

About the author

Georges Clemenceau

169 books12 followers
Georges Benjamin Clemenceau was a French politician, physician, and journalist who was Prime Minister of France during the First World War. A leader of the Radical Party, he played a central role in the politics of the French Third Republic.

Clemenceau was first Prime Minister from 1906 to 1909, and then again from 1917 to 1920. In favour of a total victory over the German Empire, he militated for the restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France. He was one of the principal architects of the Treaty of Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Nicknamed "Père la Victoire" (Father Victory) or "Le Tigre" (The Tiger), he took a harsh position against defeated Germany, though not quite as much as the President Raymond Poincaré, and won agreement on Germany's payment of large sums for reparations.
