Martin Nadaud Hardback
by Gillian Tindall
Hardback
Description
Martin Nadaud tells the true story of an itinerant stone mason from the Creuse region, at the georgraphical heart of France, who became a builder and architect in Paris and who would eventually return to his birthplace as Prefect of the entire department.
Self-taught, Nadaud was a republican who warmed to the emerging theories of socialism that would liberate so many of his class.
After the failure of the 1848 revolution, he was forced to flee to a long and lonely political exile in London, returning again to Paris at the time of the Commune in 1871 to regain his public life.
