About This Book

A participant in a parliamentary inquiry records nightly impressions and procedural details from hearings held after a political scandal that culminated in the assassination of a newspaper director by a minister's wife. The journal recounts the revelation of a prosecutor's memorandum alleging governmental pressure to delay a high-profile fraud trial, testimony from ministers, magistrates, journalists and deputies, and the partisan skirmishes that followed. It combines reconstructed documents, rapid-session notes and personal reactions to show how legal maneuvers, moral pressure and political alliances shaped public debate during the investigation.

About the Author

Barrès, Maurice portrait

Maurice Barrès

Maurice Barrès was a French novelist and political figure known for his influential works that explore themes of nationalism, identity, and the individual's relationship with society. His literary career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which he contributed significantly to the Symbolist movement. Barrès is perhaps best known for his trilogy "Le culte du moi," which delves into the complexities of selfhood and personal freedom against the backdrop of societal expectations. His writings often reflect his deep connection to the French landscape and culture, as seen in works like "La colline inspirée" and "Un jardin sur l'Oronte." Barrès's legacy continues to resonate in discussions of French literature and nationalism.
