Martin Nadaud (17 November 1815, Soubrebost, Creuse – 28 December 1898) rose from being a peasant boy to becoming a revolutionary and Member of Parliament. His first language was Langue d'oc and he learned French while working in Paris as a stonemason from the age of 14. He avoided being drafted into the army for seven years service due to injuries from a fall on a Paris building site and local connections with a sympathetic doctor. He escaped to England after the French Revolution of 1848 and became a schoolmaster under an assumed name in Wimbledon. In England, he was initiated freemason.〔Les Amis Bienfaisants Lodge archives〕 As a member of the Parliament of France, he advocated better public transport and public services. A station of the Paris Métro was named after him but was absorbed by a renovated Gambetta station in 1969. His story is told in Gillian Tindall's book ''The Journey of Martin Nadaud – A Life and Turbulent Times'' (Pimlico, 2000). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Nadaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
