Krátky popis
A pioneer of humanitarianism and founder of the International Red
Cross, Henry Dunant was many things over his lifetime. A devout
Christian and social activist, an ambitious but failed businessman,
a humanitarian genius, and a bankrupt recluse. In this biography,
Corinne Chaponniere reveals the tumultuous trajectory of Henry's
life.From his idyllic childhood in Geneva, she follows Henry
through the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, his creation of the
Red Cross and role in the Geneva Conventions, the disgrace of his
bankruptcy and his resurrection as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. It
shows how this champion of wounded soldiers and prisoners of war
was not an unblemished picture of piety and goodness, but that his
empathy and good works played out in tandem with his social
ambition and personal drive. It shows how even the best of us fall
on hard times, and that the Red Cross was born out of humanitarian
ideals coupled with a desire for personal success.This book reveals
the story of Henry Dunant, blemishes and all, against the backdrop
of the horrors of war, the weight of religion and the birth of
humanitarianism in the 19th century.
