Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reign of Terror, Vol. 1: A Collection of Authentic Narratives of the Horrors Committed by the Revolutionary Government of France Under Marat and Robespierre
The promoters of anarchy,-the agitators of the people, - in a word, the partisans of crime, cease not to assert, that a great conspiracy was to break out at Paris, in the early days of September. NO one, alas! Contests the truth with them; a truth which the event has justified in a manner equally atrocious and cruel: but to discover the conspirators, and to know the nature of their con spiracy, we must go back to the source Of it.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a harrowing account of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, a period of unprecedented violence and bloodshed that stretched from 1792 to 1794. The author, a prisoner during this tumultuous time, weaves together personal narratives of imprisonment and the horrors he witnessed. He recounts the stories of his fellow inmates, their fates, and the fear that permeated their daily existence. His narrative captures the capricious nature of the Terror, where suspicion and denunciation could lead to swift and brutal execution, transforming the social fabric of France into a landscape of fear. Through detailed descriptions and vivid prose, the author unveils the inner workings of the prison system, the brutality of the tribunals, and the manipulation of public sentiment that fueled the violence. He exposes the hypocrisy of those in power, who wielded the rhetoric of justice and liberty while orchestrating a reign of terror. This book provides a chilling look at the dark side of revolution, its capacity for cruelty, and the fragility of human lives in the face of unchecked power.
