Sinossi
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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'A truly remarkable writer, one of the most gifted non-fiction authors alive' Simon Schama, Financial TimesRobespierre was only thirty-six when he died, sent to the guillotine where he had sent thousands ahead of him. Robespierre and the Revolution were inseparable: a single inflexible tyrant. But what turned a shy young lawyer into the living embodiment of the Terror at its most violent? Admirers called him 'the great incorruptible'; critics dubbed him a 'monster', a 'bloodthirsty charlatan'. Ruth Scurr sheds new light on this puzzle, tracing Robespierre's life from a troubled childhood in provincial Arras to the passionate idealist, fighting for the rights of the people, and sweeping on to the implacable leader prepared to sign the death warrant for his closest friends.
