  Émile Ollivier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ollivier himself held the ministry of foreign affairs for a few weeks, until Daru was replaced by the duc de Gramont, destined to be Ollivier's evil genius.
On August 9, with the news of the first disaster, the Ollivier cabinet was driven from office, and its chief sought refuge from the general rage in Italy.
Ollivier's own view of his political life is given in his L'Empire libéral, which must always be an important "document" for the history of his time; but the book must be treated with no less caution than respect.

Emile Ollivier[AmEl´ OlEvyA´] Pronunciation Key, 1825–1913, French statesman, a leading figure in the "Liberal Empire" of Napoleon III.
After 1863, Ollivier cooperated with the duc de Morny to gain liberal concessions from Napoleon and gradually drew away from his republican colleagues to lead a new liberal group supporting cooperation with the government.
Growing public discontent led Napoleon to call on Ollivier to form a ministry, and the Ollivier ministry was organized in Jan., 1870.

 Louis Joseph Ernest Picard
Elected to the corps législatif in 1858, he joined the group of Emile Ollivier.
But as Ollivier approximated to the government standpoint, Picard, one of the members of the group known as Les Cinq, veered more to the left.
He founded in 1868 a weekly democratic journal, L'Electeur libre, and in 1869 was elected both for Hérault and Paris, electing to sit for the former.

After studying law at Dijon, he went to Paris, where he was called to the bar, and became close to Léon Gambetta, collaborating with him in 1868 in the foundation of the Revue politique.
He had helped Emile Ollivier in his electoral campaign in Paris in 1863, but when in 1869 Ollivier was preparing to "rally" to the empire, Spuller supported the republican candidate.
During the siege of Paris he escaped from the city with Gambetta, becoming his energetic lieutenant in the provinces.

On behalf of the members and staff of the Institut canadien d’éducation des adultes (ICÉA), we pay tribute to Émile Ollivier, president of ICÉA since 1998, as well as a brilliant writer, great humanist, committed sociologist, and attentive and respectful educator.

Primarily because political officials from Ottawa and Washington exclusively focused on unresolvable competing national maritime jurisdictional claims over the legal status of the Northern waters — thereby employing distributive as opposed to integrative bargaining methods — no mutually satisfactory arrangement was arrived at.
This dialogue also introduced new elements into Quebec’s literature; the literature of migration and « métissage » reflects the no man’s land of the exile in terms of the country of origin and the country of adoption.
Mère Solitude by Émile Ollivier illustrates the phenomenon of this new, non-hegemonic discourse in Quebec fiction.

 Review - Passages by Emile Olliver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
From there, Ollivier tells two stories which meet a purgatorial Miami: one is the story of Amédée Hosange, the said Moses who launches a ship from Haiti to a better life, the other is of Normand Malavy, a forlorn and often melodramatic figure searching for the meaning of his existence.
Ollivier has obviously read a lot of literature, and seems to have approached his own novel as an academic might do so (consultation of the novel’s press release reveals he was educated at Oxford and Harvard, and worked as a Professor and the University of Montreal).
One gets the sense that beneath all that erudite prose, Ollivier really has something to say about literature’s ability to preserve an image of people and places of the past.

Ollivier's vision of the Duvalier years, at times leavened by satirical humor, is adapted by Laferrière who largely ignores them, while relying on humor to undermine interracial taboos.
But for Laferrière's use of an African character in his first novel, none of the writers turns to Africa for a broadening of the representation of the Haitian condition.
Ollivier traces the plight of Haitian boat people in Florida, in Passages, and Laferrière caricatures the sex drive of American tourists in La Chair du maître.

Quebeckers can pride themselves on the contributions by those like Émile Ollivier, who came from afar to take part in building a society that is rich and modern, thanks to its diversity.
The works of Émile Ollivier have left an impression, and will continue to do so, on generations of Quebeckers.

 The Rising Challengers (1851-1870)
In the late 1860's, the North German Confederation continued to grow in strength under the domination of Prussia, with growing influence in the Catholic states of south Germany.
Although the Second Empire had entered a liberal parliamentary phase in 1869 with the installation of the "Liberal Empire" under Émile Ollivier, the Second Empire could not survive the shock of German unification.
In the summer of 1870, the Second Empire challenged the North German Confederation to war, using as a pretext the candidacy of a Hohenzollern prince for the then-vacated Spanish throne.

A session was held in January in his honour at which he delivered an address on Ollivier.
In the war, Bergson saw the conflict of Mind and Matter, or rather of Life and Mechanism; and thus he shows us the central idea of his own philosophy in action.

Novelist - Born in Port-au-Prince on 19 February 1940, Ollivier was the only child of a lawyer and a homemaker with a great love of language.
He polished and chiseled away at his sinuous prose, publishing only when he has "worked a book through to its end." That perfectionism resulted in critical praise and awards: three of Ollivier's six works of fiction have been prize winners.

Though many observers continued to perceive France as the strongest power in Europe, its "liberal empire," led by Emperor Napoleon III and Prime Minister Emile Ollivier, suffered from deep flaws in its governmental and military structures.
As a result, Napoleon retained control while Ollivier and the other ministers suffered from public censure without gaining authority.
The emperor's failing health and the ministers' dependence on public support were two weaknesses that inhibited the successful conduct of foreign policy.
