Opis predmeta

The nobility and bourgeoisie of the 19th century periodically organised various kinds of social events that allowed them to open the doors of their mansions. Among the accessories that a lady had to carry in her bag or hanging on a chain were dance cards and card cases whose variety of materials and decorative motifs determined their owner’s marital status. While mother of pearl was used by single women, ivory was used by married women and jet by widows. / In this card case, both the material of the card case and its decoration shows that its bearer was a single woman, as it is made of mother of pearl and decorated with a bucolic scene in which a couple takes a dove out of a cage, symbolising the virginity that is lost with marriage.

Early Life and Education

Born in Dreux, France in 1947, Stéphane Courtois is a distinguished French historian and intellectual. He pursued higher education leading to his role as Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). His academic focus quickly centered on the complex history of communism, becoming a defining theme throughout his career.

He currently serves as the director of the journal Communisme, demonstrating his continued commitment to scholarly discourse on this topic. Beyond this, he oversees collections for prominent publishing houses including Seuil, Le Rocher, Cerf, and Vendémiaire.

Notable Works

Influences and Intellectual Context

He represents a critical perspective within historical analysis, emphasizing the human cost of political ideologies.

The Black Book of Communism, in particular, remains a controversial yet essential text for anyone seeking to grasp the scale of suffering caused by communist regimes.
