French revolution - 1770-1814

av Furet, Francois

Pocketbok. Blackwell Publishers. 1996. 320 sidor.

Mycket gott skick. This volume, comprising Part I of the author's classic work Revolution France 1770-1880, offers a vivid narrative and radical reinterpretation of the years surrounding the momentous events of 1789 and their aftermath.

During this period there was not one, but two revolutions: by intent the first was egalitarian, the second - Bonaparte's - authoritarian. The tension between the two characterized the period and was to shape the Republic that eventually emerged from the ruins of the ancient regime.

The narrative begins in the last year of Louis XVI. Professor Furet provides a graphic account the years leading up to the Revolution itself. The sovereignty of the people was as absolute as the monarchy it replaced, and the Terror its tragic and inevitable consequence.

In 1799, after the well-planned and executed military coup. Bonaparte seized power and within five years had made himself France's first emperor. Napoleon conquered not only the half Europe but the aspirations of the Revolution, and put in place the laws and institutions by which France are still largely governed.

This volume ends with Napoleon's defeat, and the start of a new chain of events that was to lead to the establishment of the Third Republic in 1871.
