This book traces the remarkable life of Nicolas Bergasse, an 18th-century French lawyer and politician known for his devout defense of tradition during the tumultuous French Revolution. Despite his conservative leanings, Bergasse was also an advocate for reform, recognizing the need to address the abuses of the old regime. While the author admires Bergasse, they do not shy away from presenting his complexities and contradictions, including his errors in judgment.
