Georges Clemenceau, the writer

Georges Clemenceau began his writing career as a journalist .

In 1880, he founded the newspaper La Justice. In 1893, he said: "I founded a newspaper to serve the policy of reform. Financial difficulties, the Panamá scandal and Clemenceau's electoral failure in 1893 led to the newspaper's demise in 1897.

He worked on the newspaper La Dépêche du Midi from 1894. He was editorial writer for L'Aurore and the weekly Le Bloc. He founded a new newspaper in 1913, L'homme librewhich later became L'homme enchaîné in 1914.

In 1895, Clemenceau published La Mêlée socialea collection of articles on people and their living conditions, social struggle and the violence it can entail.

With the publication of Grand Pan in 1896, Clemenceau evoked the myth of Pan, recounting the clash of Greek and Roman civilizations. Finally, he describes the emancipating power of the Republic.

In 1898, he wrote his first and last novel Les plus forts set against a backdrop of rivalry between two men over the upbringing of a young girl from a good family, one of whom is the legal father and the other the natural father. In this work, Clemenceau opposes the conventional marriage that was most common at the time. Georges Clemenceau even wrote a play in 1901: Le voile du bonheur.

Towards the end of his life, Le Tigre published several works. In 1926, he published Démosthène. This work was commissioned by Marguerite Baldensperger, editor at Librairie Plon. What was intended as a biography for young people, Clemenceau transformed it into a manual of political science and his republican convictions.

Au soir de la penséepublished in 1927, is interpreted as the philosophical testament of the "Father of Victory". This work is above all a vast intellectual undertaking by Le Tigre. He is a philosopher, astronomer, physicist, biologist, historian, theologian, political scientist and psychologist.

In 1928, Georges Clemenceau paid tribute to his lifelong friend Claude Monet with the publication of Claude Monet, les Nymphéas.

Georges Clemenceau's last book appeared posthumously in 1930: Grandeurs et misères d'une victoire can be seen as a political testament, in which the Father of Victory responds point by point to Foch's Mémorial, the Marshal's posthumous confidences criticizing Clemenceau's peace negotiations.
