The Dynamite Club: How a Bombing in Fin-De-Siècle Paris Ignited the Age of Modern Terror
ISBN: 9780300217926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Distinguished historian John Merriman maintains that the Age of Modern Terror began in Paris on February 12, 1894, when anarchist Emile Henry set off a bomb in the Cafe Terminus, killing one and wounding twenty French citizens. The true story of the circumstances that led a young radical to commit a cold-blooded act of violence against innocent civilians makes for riveting reading, shedding new light on the terrorist mindset and on the subsequent worldwide rise of anarchism by deed.

Police Stories: Building the French State, 1815-1851
ISBN: 9780195072532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the first half of nineteenth century France was characterized by extraordinary regional and linguistic diversity but the state increasingly became a central force in the lives of its citizens. One way that it did so was through its police force, which, as John Merriman details in this work, developed into a modern profession during this period. He describes the careers of policemen, how they were hired, the difficulties they faced and successes they enjoyed. Through the lives of these men, he shows how the political issues of the day, as well as incompetence and imprudence, could bring a...

The Red City: Limoges and the French Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780195035902 / Angielski / Twarda / 1985 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This imaginative study recaptures 100 years in the life of Limoges, France's first socialist city, at a time when Limoges rode high on the crest of every wave of social, political, and industrial change. The story of this single city is the story of urban transformation and political radicalism in 19th-century France, of the struggle between tradition and modernity in French society and politics that took place not only within cities but also between cities and the countryside. Here, Merriman offers vivid portraits of particular social groups, neighborhoods, and events in 19th-century Limoges...

The Margins of City Life: Explorations on the French Urban Frontier, 1815-1851
ISBN: 9780195064384 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Margins of Urban Life brings to life the "floating worlds of the periphery" in nineteenth-century French cities--the world of beggars, the most miserable prostitutes, ragpickers, casual labor, and unwanted people; the location of slaughterhouses, gas factories, tanneries, and, increasingly, even executions. The men and women of the suburbs and faubourgs were long identified by urban elites and government officials with the turbulent "dangerous classes" who might one day fall upon the wealthy quarters of the center. Merriman analyzes and evokes the social, class, neighborhood,...
