Abstract

Have Faith in France
Chapiro, Joseph | July 15, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses that there is a well-known adage that every man has two countries--his own and France. That is why four years ago when France went to pieces militarily and even seemed to deny its moral self, every civilized man felt stricken in his most cherished ideals. This nostalgia, this insatiable idealism which is called the esprit européan is conditioned less by geography than by spiritual needs. There can be no Europe without France, which is its essence, as Paris is the essence of France.
