«La question d'Orient» collects political speeches and articles by Alphonse de Lamartine (André Versaille éditeur, paperback, 405 p., in French).
A key figure of Romanticism, Lamartine was also a central figure in French political life. The «Eastern Question», which marked Europe in the nineteenth century, occupied him for almost thirty years. This book gathers his speeches and articles on the subject and shows a great orator and a politician aware of his mistakes.
Volume with texts from 1834-1861, published in 2011; edited by Sophie Basch and Henry Laurens, with an introduction, notes and bibliographical references.
For those interested in nineteenth-century European history and in the political thought of French Romanticism.
Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine was a French author, poet, and statesman. Initially a moderate royalist, he became one of the leading critics of the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe, aligning more with the Republican Left and Social Catholicism.
