Paul Doumer was a unique person. He became president of France at age 74. His crystal honesty and political wisdom were envied not only by his contemporaries. Doumer had eight children, and four of his sons died in the First World War. His life was cut short by a bullet from an assassin—a mentally unstable Russian emigrant. Before you is a kind of testament. In it, Doumer talks about the principles of morality - mercy, justice, a person’s duty to the Motherland and family, love and patriotism. Addressing his advice to young people of his time, he seems to be holding fatherly conversations with the sons he lost. The book is intended for a wide range of readers and is of interest not only as an artistic publication, but also from a historical point of view. The publishing layout of the book is preserved in PDF A4 format.< /p>
