The book “Towards a Permanent Peace” by German philosopher Emmanuel Kant, which the French President Emmanuel Macron presented to the Pope of the Vatican in 1796, caused a real media storm in Poland, where many people questioned whether the book, which originated in the Lev, which is now in Ukraine, was stolen during World War II when the city was still a Polish settlement.
A sign in the Polish language reads, “The Academic Reading Chamber of Fif,” on the first page of this uncommon old edition from the eighteenth century. Between 1867 and 1939, when Germany invaded Poland and the Nazi forces took control, this location was a significant society for Polish students and researchers.
The reaction of many Internet users in the country of the famous musician Schoban was noisy to this discovery, as they said that the book often stole during the city’s occupation of the Nazis before the allies expelled them. When the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs was content to state that it was “acquainted with” everything linked to the book in response to the dispute.
Agence France-Presse called Parisian Books Old Books, a company that specialises in old and rare books, to get the facts on this situation. Patrick Hachwell, who sold the book to the Elysee, made a forthright announcement. It was abandoned by a Laif library sometime between 1850 and 1870.”
He went on: “The last source is a private mosque that he purchased fifty years ago. He then arrived in France in Paris around 1900 with a salesman who had an illustrious past, Lucian Boden. I was sold by his son.
That is not a problem because everything can be checked. I was interrogated directly by the Polish government to clarify the source of the book..
controversy surrounds Emmanuel Macron’s presentation to the Vatican Pope of the book “Towards a Permanent Peace.”
