The People's Own Book (1839)

By Félicité Robert de Lamennais and Félicité Robert de La Mennais

Book Overview

The People's Own Book is a political and philosophical work written by Felicite Robert De La Mennais in 1839. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that advocate for the rights and liberties of the common people. Mennais argues that the power of the state should be derived from the people themselves and that they should have a say in the decisions that affect their lives. He also critiques the role of religion in politics, arguing that it should not be used as a tool to oppress the people. The book is a call to action for the working class to rise up and demand their rights, and it played a significant role in shaping the political and social movements of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
