Sinossi

First published in 1837 and the work that established his reputation, Thomas Carlyle's The French Revolution gives a spectacular and epic account of perhaps the most major event in French history. Ranging from the death of Louis XV in 1774 to Napoleon Bonaparte's crushing of the insurrection of the Vendémiaire on October 5, 1795, it covers the entire reign of Louis XVI. Using his great narrative and descriptive power, Carlyle depicts the assembly of the States General, the Fall of the Bastille, the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies, the flight of the king to Varennes, the trial and execution of the king and queen, the reign of terror, and the fall of Robespierre.
