The book was written by Kathleen O???????Meara and originally published in 1876.The book chronicles Ozanam's life from his childhood in Lyon to his studies at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he became a professor of literature and history. O'Meara describes his personal and intellectual development, including his conversion to Catholicism and his involvement in the Catholic social movement.Ozanam was a prominent figure in the Catholic intellectual and social circles of his time, and the book explores his contributions to these fields. He was a co-founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic charity organization that provided assistance to the poor and needy. He was also an advocate for the rights of workers and a critic of the excesses of capitalism.The book provides insight into the intellectual and social climate of 19th-century France, as well as the role of Catholicism in shaping the country's culture and politics. It also sheds light on the life of a remarkable individual who combined his faith with a commitment to social justice.Overall, Frederic Ozanam, Professor at the Sorbonne: His Life and Works is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism, social activism, and intellectual life in 19th-century France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
