Early years Marcelin Albert was born on 29 March 1851 in Argeliers, Aude. The village is a few miles north of Narbonne. He seems to have been a simple man but a powerful orator. Albert owned a café and was a small-scale winegrower. Albert was a moderate republican, as were his fellow villagers, none of whom joined the strikes of 1904. One historian described Albert as follows: "A small peasant from Argeliers, who looked like a Spanish Christ, Marcelin Albert was a jack of all trades: director of a theatrical troupe, a café owner and a winemaker. In his village he was called "lo Cigal" (the Cicada), because of his whimsical and carefree spirit. In 1900 Albert began fighting for the defense of natural wine against fake wine." In 1902, 1903 and 1905 Albert travelled around the villages of region talking to small group ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Aude
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural f ...
