Description

The most authoritative social, cultural and narrative history of the French Revolution, and one of the great landmarks of modern history publishing.

Instead of the dying Old Regime, Schama presents an ebullient country, vital and inventive, infatuated with novelty and technology -- a strikingly fresh view of Louis XVI's France. A New York Times bestseller in hardcover. 200 illustrations.
