| Summary | "ŒUVRES COMPLÈTES DE CHARLES PÉGUY (TOME 1)" by Charles Péguy is a collection of prose works likely written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This composition includes both personal letters and critiques, reflecting Péguy's thoughts on politics, society, and truth, as well as his engagement in pivotal social issues of his time. Central themes revolve around the Dreyfus Affair and Péguy's tumultuous relationship with French republicanism and socialism. The beginning of this work features a sweeping introduction by Alexandre Millerand, which paints an intimate portrait of Péguy as a passionate seeker of truth and justice amid societal upheaval. It touches on the poet and thinker’s commitment to combating falsehoods, particularly during the Dreyfus Affair, and his disdain for political deceptions. The first letter, directed to a friend, outlines Péguy's everyday struggles as a teacher in the provinces, contrasting the mundane realities of provincial life with the fervent political climate of Paris. He emphasizes the importance of integrity in journalism and politics, arguing that the pursuit of truth should always prevail, even against pressures from organizations and societal norms.
