Présentation de l'éditeur
The history of the French Eevolution has been written with greater fulness and from a greater variety of standpoints than any other event on the globe, yet this book takes up untrodden ground. It is well known, indeed, that the Eevolution attracted to Paris men from all parts of the world, and of almost all categories enthusiasts, adventurers, sensation-hunters; some of the best specimens of humanity and some of the worst; some of the most generous minds and some of the most selfish; some of the busiest brains and some of the idlest. Not a few of these moths perished in the flame which they had imprudently approached; others escaped with a singeing of their wings; others, again, were fortunate enough to pass unscathed. Some died in their beds just before the Terror ended, but without any assurance of its ending ;others only just saw the end. The foreigners, like the natives, who fairly survived the Eevolution, had very various fortunes. Some were thoroughly disillusioned, became vehement reactionaries, or abjured politics and were transformed into sober or enterprising men of business.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds new light on a pivotal event through analysis of the experiences of British subjects in France during the French Revolution. The author explores both the intense enthusiasm and terror faced by these individuals, bringing a fresh perspective to the tumultuous events of that time. By examining the narratives of forgotten eyewitnesses like Lord Massareene, who escaped a prison he had occupied for almost two decades, and Captain Whyte, who was released from solitary confinement only days before his death at age 76, this book offers a unique microcosm of the macrocosm of that bloody period. The author argues convincingly that the experiences of these men and women reveal how French society descended into chaos. They offer profound insights into the nature of a modern revolution, as well as the nature of humanity itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331375357_0
