The stonemasons were well-known for their skills, and their seasonal migration from central France, but especially for their role in rebellion. This book places the masons' story within the larger history of nineteenth-century Paris. The coverage spans the long nineteenth century, starting before 1789 and ending near 1914.

Ouvrir une porte condamnée, celle de la conscience à l'intériorité, autrement dit à elle-même. Tel est l'objet de ce livre. Il se confronte à la question du couteau inlassablement retourné dans la blessure de notre âme. Non pas la question du mal, mais celle de son insondable pourquoi, lequel s'exprime dans le jour de colère : la colère contre le dieu extériorité, celle du mimétisme où l'homme, athée ou même chrétien, s'est décidé déchu, image et ressemblance de son pareil. Vient alors le temps d'un voyage au centre de l'homme, d'une conversion, lumière nouvelle dont celui-ci peut témoigner. « Qui est l'homme pour que Tu Te fasses connaître de lui ? » demande le psalmiste. Celui que Dieu a configuré à Sa Transcendance, à Sa Différence, à Sa Liberté, en le créant différence : différence dont la dame est le mémorial pour son chevalier, le cœur battant de l'in-telligence, comme de l'Église, la chair faite tabernacle pour la Vérité.
Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 1 include: . the letters of Ablard and Heloise . the letters by Abigail Adams, John Adams, and John Quincy Adams . Aesop's fables . selections from the works of Louisa May Alcott (Little Women and more), Alfred the Great, and Henri Frdric Amiel . and much, much more.
