The French Revolution: A History

di Thomas Carlyle · 159 parti · about 24 hours di lettura

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

La Francia del 1789 era affamata, arrabbiata e pronta a esplodere, e Thomas Carlyle ti racconta esattamente come ci si sentiva. Non scrive una storia calma da lontano. Ti mette nelle strade con le folle, i re e gli oratori mentre tutto sfugge al controllo. Le sue frasi rotolano come tuoni, piene di fuoco e pietà. Se vuoi sentire una rivoluzione, non solo impararne le date, comincia qui.
