Synopsis
This new history of the French Revolution re-examines the iconic events and figures, from the storming of the Bastille to the Reign of Terror. Eric Hazan offers a fresh perspective, focusing on the experiences and motivations of working people and peasants. He argues that the revolution fundamentally improved the Western world, providing a vivid retelling that seeks to understand the bloodshed and the will of figures like Robespierre through the lens of the lower classes' desires.
