Project Gutenberg 2005-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 73 Lytton, Edward Bulwer Lytton, Baron 1803 1873 Bulwer-Lytton, Edward George Earle Lytton, 1st Baron Bulwer, Edward Lytton Lytton, Edward Bulwer The Parisians — Volume 08 Produced by David Widger "The Parisians — Volume 08" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel written during the late 19th century, reflecting the complexities of Parisian society under the backdrop of imperialism and emerging democratic ideologies. This installment of the larger work delves into the political atmosphere of France during a time of social unrest, focusing on the tensions between different social classes and the political machinations surrounding them. The book captures the interplay of characters who represent a spectrum of views on freedom, authority, and the human condition against a historically rich tapestry. In this volume, Gustave Rameau, a journalist and member of a secret council, is drawn into a planned demonstration against the Empire following a plebiscite that overwhelmingly supports the Emperor. Through Rameau's eyes, readers encounter various characters, including the passionate revolutionary Monnier and the scheming Loubinsky and Raselli, who grapple with the motivations of the lower classes in a city ripe for chaos. The narrative weaves together individual ambitions, societal critiques, and burgeoning movements calling for change, culminating in a vivid portrayal of the tumultuous Parisian landscape where idealism clashes with reality. As protests erupt, the implications of leadership, loyalty, and sacrifice heavily weigh on the characters, reflecting larger questions about the future of France and its people.
