About this book
In the tumultuous climate following the fall of the Second Republic, Victor Hugo's "Napoléon Le Petit" emerges as a piercing critique of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte’s ascent to power. This incisive work dissects the political machinations that facilitated Bonaparte's presidency, illuminating the erosion of democratic ideals and the manipulation of public sentiment. Through Hugo's sharp prose, readers encounter the stark contrast between the promise of liberty and the reality of authoritarian rule, encapsulated in the chilling phrase "the coup d'état." Ideal for historians and civic activists, this document serves as a vital exploration of political integrity and the consequences of unchecked ambition, urging a reflection on the fragility of republican values.
