It has been a template for heroic insurrection and, to more conservative minds, a cautionary tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the hands of Eric Hazan, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Paris,\u003c\/i\u003e the revolution becomes a rational and pure struggle for emancipation. In this new history, the first significant account of the French Revolution in over twenty years, Hazan maintains that it fundamentally changed the Western world—for the better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Looking at history from the bottom up, providing an account of working people and peasants, Hazan asks, how did they see their opportunities? What were they fighting for? What was the Terror and could it be justified? And how was the revolution stopped in its tracks? Hazen offers a vivid retelling of events, bringing them to life with a multitude of voices. Only through the people can we fully understand the legacy of French Revolution.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51305141272864,"sku":"9781781689844","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781781689844.jpg?v=1772751474","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/a-peoples-history-of-the-french-revolution","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
