Conspiracy of Letters

Liel Leibovitz

4.9/5 (14688 ratings)

Description:Nearly 120 years after the Dreyfus Affair, a new secret file has been unearthed—and it upends much of what we knew about the famous case involving the French Jewish officer wrongfully accused of treason. As the file against Dreyfus shows—recently revealed by the French army and excerpted here for the first time in English—the case against Dreyfus was shockingly more complex, involving an affair between two military attachés, a series of forgeries, and an insidious campaign that subtly blended homophobia and anti-Semitism to thwart justice and land an innocent man in jail. Digging into the secret file, Tablet Magazine senior writer Liel Leibovitz offers a vivid new version of this seminal historical narrative, recasting the affair as a detective story set against the backdrop of beautifully decadent Belle Époque Paris. And helping to solve the crime here is an unexpected sleuth: Marcel Proust, a dedicated chronicler of the affair who, despite having never seen the secret allegations against Dreyfus, intuited them and incorporated them into his masterpiece of a novel. ’Conspiracy of Letters’ is a short and evocative story of history, literature, prejudice, and the way they often shape and inform each other.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
