Alain Pagès Books

Amidst the deep silence and solitude prevailing in the avenue several market gardeners' carts were climbing the slope which led towards Paris, and the fronts of the houses, asleep behind the dim lines of elms on either side of the road, echoed back the rhythmical jolting of the wheels. At the Neuilly bridge a cart full of cabbages and another full of peas had joined the eight waggons of carrots and turnips coming down from Nanterre; and the horses, left to themselves, had continued plodding along with lowered heads, at a regular though lazy pace, which the ascent of the slope now slackened. The sleeping waggoners, wrapped in woollen cloaks, striped black and grey, and grasping the reins slackly in their closed hands, were stretched at full length on their stomachs atop of the piles of vegetables. Every now and then, a gas lamp, following some patch of gloom, would light up the hobnails of a boot, the blue sleeve of a blouse, or the peak of a cap peering out of the huge florescence of vegetables-red bouquets of carrots, white bouquets of turnips, and the overflowing greenery of peas and cabbages.

Die Dreyfus-Affäre (1894-1906) teilte viele Jahre lang Frankreich in zwei Lager, die sich im größten Justizskandal der Jahrhundertwende unversöhnlich gegenüberstanden. Schnell wurde sie ein mediales Ereignis, nicht nur in ganz Europa, sondern auch in den Vereinigten Staaten und Lateinamerika, und liefert bis heute Stoff für hitzige Kontroversen. Um zwischen historischen Wahrheiten und Legenden zu unterscheiden, beantwortet Alain Pagès in 27 Kapiteln die zentralen Fragen, die auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch die Gemüter erregen: Hatte die Anklage Beweise? Wurde Dreyfus von einem "jüdischen Syndikat" verteidigt? Wurde Émile Zola wegen seines Engagements ermordet? War Kaiser Wilhelm II. persönlich in die Dreyfus-Affäre verwickelt? Wie hat Roman Polanski die Dreyfus-Affäre dargestellt?
