Biography
Gabriel Charave was born in the family of a furniture craftsman, an Egyptian campaign veteran Napoleon I, also engaged in bookselling. From his youth, imbued with socialist-revolutionary convictions, from 1840 he wrote manifestos in defense of communism and materialism, and he founded the magazine L'Humanitaire in Lyon, which was banned in the second issue; for his publication, Sharave spent two years in prison. From 1843 to 1848 he worked as an expert on autographs in the library of Lyon and at the same time was engaged in bookselling.
He was politically active during the February Revolution of 1848, opposing Louis Napoleon Bonaparte ; after the Lyon uprising of 1849, his book trade was closed, and he lost all his fortune. In 1851, for his political activities, he was arrested and imprisoned in Mazas , and after the December coup, which led to the proclamation of the Second Empire , he was sentenced to five years in prison on the island of Belle Ile in the case of “bulletins of the resistance committee”. In 1858, after the assassination of Orsini , Sharave was exiled to Algeria on the basis of the law on general security; in Algeria, he lived in Sidi Bel Abbes . After the amnesty of 1859, he returned to Paris and no longer took an active part in political life, taking up the writing of scientific works (including memoirs of his life in Algeria). He died in Paris, was buried in the cemetery of Montparnasse .
Sharave helped his brother in his bibliographical works, worked on a collection of autographs (he owns two special editions: “Revue des autographes” [1866] and “Imprimerie” [1864]). His main works: "Guide de l'étranger à Lyon" (1846); "Projet de constitution jugé au point de vue démocratique" (1848); Traité de ponctuation (1864); "Règle définitive du participe passé" (1878).
