Summary "L'Abbé de l'Épée: sa vie, son apostolat, ses travaux, sa lutte et ses succès" by Ferdinand Berthier is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book revolves around the life of Charles-Michel de l'Épée, a notable figure in the education of the deaf and the founder of the first public school for deaf-mutes in France. It highlights his passionate advocacy for the deaf community, detailing his innovative teaching methods and the challenges he faced in promoting their acceptance and education. The opening of the book introduces the foundation of the Central Society for Deaf-Mutes in Paris in 1838, which aimed to unify efforts for the welfare of the deaf community. Berthier reflects on the legacy of the Abbé de l'Épée after the discovery of his remains, describing the establishment of a monument in his honor. In this introduction, the author outlines the mission to document the life and contributions of this "spiritual father" of the deaf, emphasizing the societal changes in the treatment of individuals with hearing impairments and the appreciation they have garnered over the years.
