Léon Blum: The Formative Years, 1872–1914

William Logue

4.9/5 (27466 ratings)

Description:This biography of the early years of Léon Blum is a study in the making of a socialist. The forces and commitments that shaped the schoolboy, the young lawyer, the reformer of sexual mores, the developing skills of a penetrating literary critic whose reviews won the friendship - and often enmity - of such men as André Gide, Anatole France, and Maurice Barres, and the social awareness that caused him to be an early supporter of Dreyfus and finally one of the leading French politicians of this century - such are the themes in his life that have fascinated the author and led him to say with conviction: "He was one of the most attractive figures of the 20th century."In order to understand and to evaluate the later career of Léon Blum as leader of the French Socialist party, as France's first socialist and Jewish premier, and as head of the Popular Front experiment, it is essential to understand the development and character of his ideas and attitudes during the first 40-odd years of his life.
