The Dreyfus Affair and "Welcome to the Feast"

Today in class we discussed the Dreyfus Affair and its resonances in contemporary Paris, including the placement of a statue of Alfred Dreyfus on Boulevard Raspail rather than at the École Militaire, where Dreyfus underwent the ceremony of degradation depicted in this January 17, 1898 issue of Le Petit Journal:


Boulevard Raspail

This evening, the American Library in Paris screened the documentary "Welcome to the Feast," about the lives of expatriate English speakers in Paris.  In particular, the film sought to discover if the writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers, and musicians drawn to Paris by the romantic images of expat life, forged especially in the 1920s, were still passionate about the City of Light after years of living there.  The filmmaker John McNulty and several of those profiled in the film led discussion of the film after its showing.

  1. I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) for the last four years and had constant outbreaks and pains. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday, and i was taking treatments and meds from my doctor. I was taking accyclovir alongside some ointment. I spent so much on meds but the blisters still return after some months. It was early this year, i was using the Internet to see if i could gather any information to get rid of this virus once and for all, using natural herbs. Then i came across a testimony of a woman who was healed from diabetes and Cancer of the breast by one Herbal Dr.yakubu. I copied the email address of the doctor after her testimony. So I sent a message to Dr.yakubu telling him about my Herpes Virus. he told me not to worry that as long as I will make use of the herbs as directed, with God, I will soon testify. I thought he was bluffing. So we got talking and he asked me some questions. He prepared and sent me some herbs in 70ml bottles and ointment, then he guided me on how to use them. In less than 2 months of usage, i was totally healed. The blisters disappeared and the pains gone too. I went for a test and the result was Negative. I had to use a different hospital and the result was same. Since over nine months now, I am Herpes Free.... Please my advise is this, if you have similar sickness or any other sickness at all, Please do not forget to reach out to Dr.yakubu on : (dr.yakubuherbalhealingclinic@gmail.com). you can also reach the doctor on whatsapp +2348057353647
