"Les Français peints par eux-mêmes, tome 2" by L. Curmer is a moral encyclopedia written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the societal behaviors and characteristics of the French people, focusing on various facets of youth, class distinctions, and the effects of historical transformations, particularly after the Revolution. The text serves as an insightful reflection on the social dynamics of the time, illustrating the struggles and triumphs of different societal groups. The beginning of the book introduces readers to a contemplation of youth over the last fifty years, highlighting the experiences and challenges faced by young people in a rapidly changing society. The author expresses a deep sympathy for the youth, particularly those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, who often lack guidance and face dire consequences of idleness and rebellion. Through observations of the young working class, the middle class, and even the emerging political class, Curmer critiques the prevailing social norms and education systems, setting the stage for a discussion of the moral and ethical responsibilities of both the youth and society at large. As the narrative progresses, it emphasizes the weight of historical events, such as the Revolution and its lasting impacts on individual aspirations and societal values, hinting at an ongoing quest for identity and purpose.
