Bartholomew's Day massacre. It was published in Marchwithout any great success, and its author was by then tired of the genre. Between andhe wrote thirteen stories, following three basic principles; a brief story told in prose; a sparse and economical style of writing, with no unneeded lyricism; and a unity of action, all leading to the ending, which was often abrupt and brutal.

He also began a series of long trips which provided material for much of his future writing. Fascinated by Spain, he decided not to return to France immediately, but to continue his journey. In October he met Cipriano Portocarreroa liberal Spanish aristocrat and the future Count of Montijo, who shared many of his literary and historical interests and political views.

He returned to Paris in Januaryand began publishing vivid accounts of his trip to Spain in the Revue de Paris under the title Lettres d'Espagne. These included the first mention of Carmena story told to him by the Countess of Montijo. He also sought a position in the new administration of King Louis Philippe. Many of his friends had already found jobs in the new government; Stendhal was named French consul to Triesteand the writers Chateaubriand and Lamartine both received honorary government posts.

He was not there for long; in December Prime Minister Adolphe Thiers sent him to London on an extended diplomatic mission to report on the British elections. He became a member of the most prominent London club, the Athenaeumand consulted with the venerable French ambassador to England, Prince Talleyrand. A large part of the architectural heritage of France, particularly the churches and monasteries, had been damaged or destroyed during the Revolution.

Of the churches in Paris in the 16th century, only 97 still were standing in Throughout the country, churches and monasteries had been demolished or turned into barns, cafes, schools, or prisons. The first effort to catalog the remaining monuments was made in by Alexandre de Laborde, who wrote the first list of "Monuments of France". In Victor Hugo wrote an article for the Revue des deux Mondes which declared war against the "massacre of photo de prosper mérimée bio stones" and the "demolishers" of France's past.

King Louis Philippe declared that restoration of churches and other monuments would be a priority of his regime. He held the position for twenty-seven years. He approached his new duties methodically. He first organized a group of architects specialized and trained in restoration, and had the money that previously had been given to the Catholic Church for restoration transferred to his budget.

On 31 Julyhe set off on his first inspection tour of historic monuments, traveling for five months, describing and cataloging the monuments he saw. Between and he made nineteen inspection tours to different regions of France. The longest, to the Southeast and to Corsica, lasted five months, but most trips were shorter than a month. When he returned after each trip, he made a detailed report to the Ministry on what needed to be done.

In addition, he wrote scholarly studies for journals of archaeology and history. His scholarly works included a survey of the religious architecture in France during the Middle Ages and of military monuments of the Gauls, Greeks and Romans Finally, he wrote a series of books for a popular audience about the monuments of each region, describing vividly a France that he declared was "more unknown than Greece or Egypt".

In he published the first official List of Historic Monuments in France, with entries. He organized a systematic review to prioritize restoration projects, and established a network of correspondents in each region who kept an eye on the projects, made new discoveries, and signaled any vandalism. Though he was a confirmed atheist, many of the buildings he protected and restored were churches, which he treated as works of art and shrines of national history.

He often disputed with local church authorities, insisting that more recent architectural modifications be removed, and the buildings restored to their original appearance. He also confronted local governments who wanted to demolish or convert old structures. Viollet-le-Duc was twenty-six, and had studied mathematics and chemistry but not architecture; he learned his profession from practical experience and travel.

He returned the statues which had been removed during the French Revolutionand later restored the spire. Reproduce with prudence the parts destroyed, where there exist certain traces. Don't give yourself to inventions When the traces of the ancient state are lost, the wisest is to copy the analog motifs in a building of the same type in the same province".

He participated personally in the restoration of many of the monuments. His tastes and talents were well suited to archaeology, combining an unusual linguistic talent, accurate scholarship, remarkable historical appreciation, and a sincere love for the arts of design and construction. He had some practical skills in design. He had them joined and supervised both the construction and the collection of medieval art to be displayed.

Together they explored the castle, which had recently been taken over by the Sub-Prefecture. In an upstairs room they found the six tapestries of the series The Lady and the Unicorn. The novella tells the story of a statue of Venus that comes to life and kills the son of its owner, whom it believes to be its husband. The story was inspired by a story of the Middle Ages recounted by the historian Freher.

That is the great art of Hoffmann and his fantastic stories". Colomba is a tragic story about a Corsican vendetta. The central character, Colomba, convinces her brother that he must kill a man to avenge an old wrong done to their family. This story was the result of his long trip to that island researching historic monuments, and is filled with details about Corsican culture and history.

When it was published in the Revue des deux Mondes it had an immense popular success. It is still widely studied in French schools as an example of Romanticism. Jealous over her, he kills another man and becomes an outlaw, then he discovers she is already married, and in jealousy he kills her husband. When he learns she has fallen in love with a picadorhe kills her, and then is arrested and sentenced to death.

Carmen did not have the same popular success as Colomba.

In he helped organize a successful campaign to preserve the medieval Citadel of Carcassonne. In he arranged for the crypt of Saint-Laurent in Grenoble to be classified as an historical monument. On 30 Aprilhis mother, who lived with him and was very close to him, died.

When he was exposed, he fled to England, taking 30, works in sixteen trunks, and claimed that he was victim of a plot. He attacked the incompetence of the prosecutors and blamed the Catholic Church for inventing the case.

On the same day that his mother died, he was summoned before the state prosecutors, and was sentenced to fifteen days in prison and fined one thousand francs.
