Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly discuss Karl Marx's 1852 book “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte,” written soon after French president Louis Napoleon—or, as Marx refers to him, Louis Napoleon—staged an auto-coup in 1851, replacing a parliamentary republic with “rule by bayonet.” Shortly thereafter, he declared himself Emperor Napoleon III. Much of the discussion focuses on how Marx considered history, political struggle, and parties in relationship to the broader class struggle. The co hosts focus especially on his claim that French political parties and figures “represented” social classes. While they note striking similarities between the assaults on democracy in Louis Bonaparte's France and in Donald Trump's US (and elsewhere) today, they also discuss the pitfalls of trying to draw simple comparisons between substantially different political, economic, and cultural situations. Plus current-events segment: Trump administration chaos creating macroeconomic chaos. The co-hosts discuss how Trump's on-again, off again tariffs and other chaos have led to widespread economic uncertainty, and the likely consequences of that uncertainty.

Novelist Timothy Schaffert joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss how the concept of farce relates to today's GOP-controlled House of Representatives. Schaffert describes the lack of self-awareness in both fictional and real-life characters, including politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, and analyzes how it renders them comical, absurd, and maddening to watch. He talks about what observers can learn from those behaviors, and also reads from his forthcoming book, The Titanic Survivors Book Club.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1847, Giuseppe Verdi conducted the premiere performance of his newest opera, I Masnadieri or The Robbers, at Her Majesty's Theater in London. And speaking of her Majesty, Queen Victoria was in the audience, as were other state dignitaries, including the Duke of Wellington and Louis Napoleon of France.It was the first time in over twenty years that a world-famous composer had composed an opera specifically for London. As one of Verdi's young assistants put it, "Neither Rossini, Bellini, or Donizetti had ever pitched their tents on the banks of the Thames."As an added attraction, the 27-year old Swedish nightingale, soprano Jenny Lind, topped an all-star line-up of singers. It was Jenny Lind's London debut and the first time ever that an operatic role had been specially-written for herThe premiere was a great success for all concerned, with Verdi and the singers called to the stage again and again to cheers from the audience. The critics, for their part, were less than kind."We take this to be the worst opera that has been given in your time at Her Majesty's Theater," wrote one. "There does not exist an Italian composer more incapable of producing what is commonly called melody." I Masnadieri fared a little better back in Italy, but gradually faded from the active repertory until the revival of interest in all of Verdi's opera in the 20th century.Music Played in Today's ProgramGiuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901) I masnadieri Overture Hungarian State Opera Orchestra; Iper Giorgio Morandi, conductor.

In this week's Book Club podcast I'm joined by Ferdinand Mount who in his long career has been literary and political editor of this very magazine, as well as editor of the TLS and head of Margaret Thatcher's Number Ten policy unit. We discuss his new book Big Caesars and Little Caesars: How They Rise and How they Fall, from Julius Caesar to Boris Johnson. He tells me why he thinks it's fair to compare our recent former prime minister with a cast of despots and autocrats from Indira Gandhi and Oliver Cromwell to Louis Napoleon and even Adolf Hitler, and why he sees the impulse to autocracy as an ineradicable thread in human history.

Hello Great Minds!For the first time this season, I managed to get a Great Mind released on time, so Happy Tuesday! Napoleon III is a figure who did the unthinkable! He was one of the most influential figures of the nineteenth century world. He ruled in the days of Lincoln. He rose from obscurity to the heights of greatness... Yet, most don't even know that I am not talking about Napoleon Bonaparte! Napoleon III was a man with a vision. A modern man in a constantly changing age. A Great Mind that aimed to reignite the Golden Age that his uncle, that is Napoleon Bonaparte, started, but he was not a man of ruthless and bloodthirsty conquest… most of the time."Le Petit," Louis Napoleon, the President and Emperor of France, may just be the Great Mind that fell the hardest this season, but I guess you'll have to listen to find out how...

Maiden Lane - a "country dance" from John Playford's English Dancing Master, 1651. The dance and its melody is thought to be named after Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, and it is just one of a great number of dances called for London places. Situated between the Covent Garden Market and the Strand, Maiden Lane was originally a path running from Drury Lane to St Martin's Lane along the southern edge of the ‘Covent Garden': that is, the Convent Garden, belonging to the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey, and providing produce for their table. The street was first called Maiden Lane in 1636. A statue of the Virgin stood at the Eastern end of the lane, and this may be the origin of the name Maiden Lane. Another explanation is that it is a corruption of the Middle-English word ‘Midden'. Famous residents over the centuries include Louis Napoleon, Benjamin Disraeli, Voltaire and the artist J.M.W. Turner. Edward VII and Lily Langtry dined in Maiden Lane and William Terriss, a celebrated actor of his day was murdered here by a crazed understudy in 1897.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WHAT HAPPENED IN LOURDES?Why did Mary come? What was so important at this time in history, in this country? It’s easy in retrospect to understand the need for divine intervention in 1858. The Church had gone through one of its worst periods possible in Europe. It had not quite recovered from the French Revolution. New governments, new revolutions attacked the Church and the people. In 1848, the Archbishop of Paris was murdered when yet another revolution took place in France. It then spread itself to Rome. The Pope’s Prime Minister was murdered. The Papal Palace was attacked. Many were wounded or killed. It became violent to the point of driving Pope Pius IX out of the Vatican State. Belief and trust in the promise of Jesus waned badly. It seemed as if the Church was tolling its death knell. Louis Napoleon brought his French troops to the aid of the Church temporarily, and the Pope was able to return to Rome. But the calm was shortlived. The war clouds loomed over the horizon again. Satan poised his troops in preparation for the final destruction of the Church.In 1854, in the midst of this, and in the face of massive opposition, one of Mary’s staunchest supporters, Pope Pius IX proclaimed to the world what had been believed down through the centuries, but had never been made a Dogma of the Church. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION was declared fact, and all Catholics were required to believe this. There had been a popular heresy spreading throughout Europe at this time, Pantheism, which claimed that man was equal with God. By this proclamation, Our Lord Jesus through the Pope declared that with the exception of Jesus, only Mary was conceived without Original Sin. The rest of the human race are heirs of Adam and Eve, and all that goes with it.This proclamation caused more problems than it meant to solve. Rumbling went on inside the Church, and outside in Protestant circles. It was outrageous, they said, to give this singular honor to a woman. Shades of Lucifer! He, the once favored angel of God, made this same statement when told that a woman would be Queen of Heaven and Earth, of all the Angels and the Saints. His pride couldn’t take this. He and his band of angels revolted against God and Heaven. The cry of Mica-el, (Who is Like God?) reverberated the Heavens. With Michael the Archangel at the helm, the loyal angels of God cast Lucifer and his pack down into the black hole of hell. Lucifer has hated the name of Mary since that time. Under the influence of Satan, the enemies of the Church claimed Mary was from Adam as we all are; that she came into the world with the same stain of sin that everyone else was born with. “It was one thing for the peasants, the uninformed, to believe in this superstition”, they ranted. “How could the Church make this farce into dogma?”Our Lady of Patience, my Mary, who has never given up on us in 2,000 years, waited. One year went by. The situation was bad. Two years went by. Not much change took place in the attitudes of her children towards the new Dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The third year passed. But still she waited. And then she did the predictable. She found a remote town of no great importance, and within that speck on the earth, she chose a simple child of the poorest family in the region, and led her to a garbage dump. From that vantage point she was to send out a message to the world for all time, loud and clear, confirmation of Pope Pius’ IX dogma, in the statement she made in the 16th Apparition on the Feast of the Annunciation,QUE SOY ERA IMMACULADA COUNCEPCIOUI AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTIONShe even spoke the words in a local patois, or dialect, rather than the language of the country, to a child who had no idea whSupport the show (https://bobandpennylord.store/pages/we-need-your-help)

We are joined by veteran of the podcast wars, C. Derick Varn, for his third appearance on the show, to talk a little about historical Bonapartism and a little more about contemporary Bonapartism. We talked about the contemporary left's perceived need to seek out a Bonapartist savior and drift further and further from the utopian horizons we once sought.

Victor Marie Hugo was a novelist, poet, and dramatist of the Romantic Movement, known most notably for writing Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is considered to be one of the greatest French writers of all time, and while Le Mis and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are his best-known works, Hugo is primarily remembered in France for his poetry, such as The Contemplations and The Legend of the Ages. He was also an incredibly talented artist and fervent political activist, standing firm in his fight against numerous social causes including the abolition of capital punishment. Though he was a committed royalist in his youth, as he grew older, Hugo became a staunch supporter of Republicanism, and even spent some time in exile because of these ideals when Louis Napoleon (aka Napoleon the III) took over in 1851. But…like those before him, Hugo had some very interesting habits. Despite loving his wife, he had an incredible amount of mistresses throughout his life, and his sexual tastes centered greatly around…feet. Yep, that’s right, full on 19th century foot fetish. On top of that, he wrote in the nude…poems, novels, everything...Hugo apparently didn’t want to feel restricted while he worked. And there’s more…way more. So let’s get started after our two-week recess and dissect the life of none other than Victor Hugo.

Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power is one of the events that puts the 1790 in our "1790 to 1870" tagline. For almost 20 years Napoleon was deeply involved in Italian affairs both big and small, and no history of the Unification would be complete without a detailed discussion of his influence. It will be another Bonaparte who helps puts the 1870 in our tagline: his nephew Louis-Napoleon.
