Abstract
Abstract Julien Freund was a French intellectual. Intense and introspective, he was never without a cigarette, as though there was some relation between tabacco and thought. But Freund was not typical. He did not live in Paris and was not embroiled in its various idiosyncratic polemics. Most of his life was spent in or about Alsace-Lorraine, until the end of WWI a German imperial territory (Elsass-Lothringen), consisting of the former French province Alsace (with its capital Strasbourg), and the German Lorraine (with the capital and fortress of Metz). This particular land had long been a pawn in struggles between France and Germany — a characteristic Freund appreciated not only in his regional concerns1 but also in his incidental writings on Alsatian cuisine.
