Excerpt from Pascalis: Étude sur la Fin de la Constitution Provençale, 1787-1790
Raconter la vie de Pascalis c'est donc raconter la fin de la Constitution et de la nationalité provençales. Ces deux sujets, ces deux histoires, se lient par des rapports tellement intimes qu'ils se confondent. Il y a toujours dans l'humanité, suivant l'image d'un publiciste-mo derne, quelques hommes d'élite et de foi, véritables piliers de l'univers qui portent le globe sur leurs 'têtes4.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the final moments of the historic Constitution and national identity of Provence, represented by the life of Pascalis, a key political figure in late 18th-century France. The author examines the unique self-governing institutions and constitutional rights that set Provence apart from other regions, and the factors that led to their demise. The book delves into the political climate of the time, the struggle between royal authority and local autonomy, and the rise of new ideas fueled by the Enlightenment. The author analyzes Pascalis's staunch defense of Provençal liberties, his role in the Assembly of the Three Orders, and the ultimately tragic outcome of his efforts to preserve his homeland's independence. Through Pascalis's story, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power, identity, and the enduring legacy of regional autonomy within a nation.
