Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Unveiling the grim reality of early 17th-century France, this book immerses readers in the lives of the destitute and the efforts of Thà ophraste Renaudot to alleviate their suffering. Renaudot's compassionate gaze exposes the plight of the poor, known as gueux, caîmans, or malingreux, who faced societal rejection and often resorted to begging or crime to survive. Despite royal edicts and charitable initiatives, the Hà tel-Dieu hospital was overcrowded and disease-ridden, leading to the establishment of new hospitals like La Pitià . Renaudot's innovative spirit shone through his creation of the Bureau d'adresse, providing free publicity for the poor, and the Monts de pià tà , offering loans to the needy without the predatory interest rates of traditional moneylenders. Through these initiatives, Renaudot not only provided practical assistance but also challenged the prevailing attitudes towards poverty and sparked a movement for social justice. His legacy continues to inspire those seeking to alleviate suffering and promote human dignity. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
