Publisher Description

Bilingual, English and French. According to Wikipedia: "Napoleon le Petit was an influential political pamphlet by Victor Hugo which condemned the reign of Napoleon III, Emperor of the French. Hugo lived in exile in Guernsey for most of Napoleon III's reign, and his criticism of the monarch was significant as he was one of the most prominent Frenchmen of the time, and was revered by many. It includes the concept of two and two make five as a denial of truth by authority, a notion later used by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Volumes were smuggled into France (eg. in bales of hay, and between metal sheets as a tin of sardines), read at secret meetings, and hand-copied."

Bilingue, anglais et français. Selon Wikipédia: «Napoléon le Petit était un pamphlet politique influent de Victor Hugo qui condamnait le règne de Napoléon III, empereur des Français, qui vécut en exil à Guernesey pendant la plus grande partie du règne de Napoléon III, et sa critique du monarque fut significative. Comme il était l'un des Français les plus éminents de l'époque, il a été vénéré par beaucoup de gens et inclut le concept de deux et de deux comme un déni de la vérité par l'autorité, une notion utilisée plus tard par George Orwell dans Nineteen Quatre-vingt-quatre. Les volumes étaient introduits clandestinement en France (par exemple dans des ballots de foin et entre des tôles comme une boîte de sardines), lus lors de réunions secrètes et copiés à la main.
