Uno scrittore davvero straordinario, uno degli autori di saggistica viventi più dotati' simon schama, financial times robespierre aveva solo trentasei anni quando morì, mandato alla ghigliottina dove ne aveva mandati migliaia prima di lui. Robespierre e la rivoluzione erano inseparabili: un unico tiranno inflessibile. Ma cosa trasformò un giovane e timido avvocato nell'incarnazione vivente del terrore nella sua forma più violenta? gli ammiratori lo chiamavano 'il grande incorruttibile'; i critici lo soprannominarono un 'mostro', un 'ciarlatano assetato di sangue'. Ruth scurr getta nuova luce su questo enigma, ripercorrendo la vita di robespierre da un'infanzia travagliata nella provinciale arras all'appassionato idealista, in lotta per i diritti del popolo, per poi passare all'implacabile leader pronto a firmare la condanna a morte per i suoi amici più cari.
