This diary is a rare text about lived experience in Paris during the Commune. Mendès chose writing as a counter to the erosion of his bearings, a guarantee of a memory to be passed on and a means of self-analysis amidst the turmoil. He examines the various issues at stake, assesses the difficulty of bearing witness, and the fragility of certainties.
