The French Revolution: A History

par Thomas Carlyle · 159 parties · about 24 hours de lecture

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

La France en 1789 avait faim, était en colère et prête à exploser, et Thomas Carlyle vous dit exactement ce que cela ressentait. Il n'écrit pas une histoire calme à distance. Il vous met dans les rues avec les foules, les rois et les orateurs pendant que tout échappe au contrôle. Ses phrases roulent comme le tonnerre, pleines de feu et de pitié. Si vous voulez ressentir une révolution, pas seulement apprendre ses dates, commencez ici.
