Conon of Athens played a major role in classical Athenian history. His influence even reached far beyond this famous city. He was an immensely important actor in the international relations between Athens, Sparta and other Greek cities, and the most important intermediary for Athens with Artaxerxes II, Pharnabazus and the Persians more generally. In spite of this prominent role there are few focussed studies of Conon's extraordinary career and personality. By presenting a biographical essay on him this study therefore fills a significant gap in ancient-history scholarship. This essay explores the striking direction of his career. Coming out of almost total obscurity in 414/3, he started a civil and military career that experienced a brutal interruption after Athens's total defeat at Aegospotami in 405/4. After living for 12 years in exile, he returned, eventually, to his city, in 394/3, as a celebrated military victor and hero. But his exceptional career ended, in 390/89, again, a long away from Athens. ; Conon d'Athènes fait partie des personnages qui ont fortement marqué l'histoire de sa cité durant la période classique. Son influence au cours de cette étape de l'histoire de la Grèce ne s'est pas limitée à Athènes. En effet, il est un acteur des rapports que celle-ci entretient avec les autres cités grecques, particulièrement avec Sparte, mais surtout des relations entre Athènes et les Perses, notamment Pharnabaze et Artaxerxès II. Malgré cette présence remarquable et incontestable, la vie et la personnalité de Conon n'ont guère fait l'objet de contributions approfondies et complètes. C'est l'objectif que cette étude s'est fixé, en proposant de Conon d'Athènes cet essai de biographie. Il ressort en définitive que l'homme a connu une trajectoire singulière. Durant la dernière décennie de la guerre du Péloponnèse, il apparaît comme un stratège très actif auquel la cité renouvelle sa confiance. Mais à la défaite d'Aigos-Potamos en 405 il réagit par un exil volontaire à Chypre,où il prépare son retour dans sa ...

Dottorato di ricerca in Società, istituzioni e sistemi politici europei (19.-20. secolo) ; Comunista, poi socialista, Angelo Tasca (1892-1960) ricevette « direttamente e intensamente […] le "rivoluzioni del Novecento" », che si rifransero nella sua riflessione. Si formò politicamente nel movimento operaio torinese e intellettualmente nel fermento dei dibattiti tra positivismo e neoidealismo : queste esperienze lasciarono un'impronta profonda sul suo pensiero. Gli sconvolgimenti creati dalla Prima Guerra mondiale destarono in lui la speranza di un'imminente rivoluzione : aderì al comunismo. Il suo disaccordo con lo stalinismo sulle prospettive del comunismo mondiale e la costruzione del socialismo in Russia lo condusse ad una dolorosa rottura nel 1929. Fuoruscito in Francia, si avvicinò alla social-democrazia e intraprese una lunga riflessione sul socialismo e il marxismo, che sboccò alla fine degli anni Trenta in una radicale revisione. Preoccupato per l'evoluzione del mondo, ossessionato dal timore di una divisione interna della Francia, cercò di porre le basi di una concezione umanista e non marxista del socialismo. Dopo la disfatta della Francia nell'estate 1940, credette di poter influenzare dall'interno il regime di Vichy ; presto deluso, fornì contemporaneamente informazioni alla Resistenza. Riflettè in questo periodo su una rivoluzione comunitaria, basata sull'articolazione di uno Stato forte con delle comunità naturali. La convinzione che il comunismo fosse contrario al suo ideale sociale lo spinse ad iniziare la lotta contro questo movimento, alla quale si dedicò dopo la guerra. ; Communist, then socialist, Angelo Tasca (1892-1960) received « directly and intensely […] the "revolutions of the 20th century" », that were refracted in his thinking. He educated himself politically in the workers' movement of Turin and intellectually in the effervescence of the debate between positivism and neoidealism : these experiences deeply marked his thinking. The upheavals created by World War I aroused in him the hope of an imminent revolution : he joined communism. He disagreed with stalinism about the prospects of the international communist movement and the construction of socialism in Russia and was led to a painful break-up in 1929. He exiled in France, came closer to social-democracy and embarked on a long reflection on socialism and marxism, that ended up in a radical revision at the end of the 30's. Anxious about the world's evolution and haunted by the fear of an interior division of France, he attempted to put the bases of a humanist and non marxist conception of socialism. After the defeat of France in the summer of 1940, he thought he would be able to have an influence on the Vichy government from the inside ; but he was quickly disappointed and began to give information to the Resistance. He reflected on a communitarian revolution, based on the articulation of a strong State with natural communities. The conviction that communism was contrary to his social ideal pushed him to go into an action against this movement, to which he dedicated himself after the war.

Mostly known under the pseudonym Jean de La Hire, the French writer, editor and politician Adolphe d'Espie (1878-1956) might not be on many people's minds nowadays. Yet, his works were very popular in his time, delighting a vast audience including young Jean-Paul Sartre, who names him as one of his favorite authors. And his baffling itinerary raises many questions. Beginning his literary career as a very elitist novelist, young d'Espie befriends figures such as Pierre Louÿs, José-Maria de Heredia, Colette and Willy, and dreams to become the new Balzac. He still ended up owing his fame to popular literature. His prolific production in the field covers many genre: romance novel, crime novel, adventure novels, and even science fiction. The paths he followed in politics puzzle as well. A long standing supporter of the "radical" movement, and elected mayor under this label, d'Espie became editor in chief of a political review sponsored by future Nobel Peace Prize-winning Léon Bourgeois and Ferdinand Buisson. In 1940, d'Espie however sides with the German occupying forces. He takes the helm of a publishing house confiscated to Jewish owners, and writes and publishes propaganda in favor of the Nazis. Ambition and opportunism seem in both cases the reason accounting for these flip-flops – d'Espie always going for the quickest way to success, disregarding both his ideals and a posterity that will not be able to forgive his mistakes. ; Plus connu sous le pseudonyme de Jean de La Hire, l'écrivain, éditeur et homme politique français Adolphe d'Espie (1878-1956) a aujourd'hui disparu de la plupart des mémoires.

Romancier résolument élitiste, le jeune d'Espie fréquente Pierre Louÿs, José-Maria de Heredia, Colette et Willy, et se rêve en nouveau Balzac. Pourtant, c'est dans le roman populaire qu'il se rendra célèbre, et qu'il publiera la majorité de sa très vaste production. Il en couvrira tous les genres : roman sentimental, policier, d'aventures, de cape et d'épée, et de science-fiction. Son itinéraire politique étonne également. Longtemps engagé auprès des républicains-socialistes, il devient maire de Banyuls-sur-Mer sous cette étiquette, et rédacteur en chef d'une revue politique parrainée par Léon Bourgeois et Ferdinand Buisson. D'Espie bascule cependant dès 1940 du côté de la collaboration. Il prend alors la tête des Éditions Ferenczi qu'il aryanise et met au service de la propagande nazie, propagande à laquelle il contribue aussi de sa plume. Ambitieux et opportuniste, d'Espie a choisi en politique comme dans les lettres, les chemins qui menaient le plus vite au succès, au mépris d'idéaux vite oubliés, et d'une postérité qui ne pourra lui pardonner ses errements.
