Synopsis
One of the most important books ever written about the French Revolution, this treatise is the work of a celebrated political thinker and historian. Alexis de Tocqueville reveals the rebellion's origins and consequences by examining France's political and cultural environment during the late eighteenth century. His view of the revolution as part of a gradual and ongoing social process, rather than a sudden occurrence, offers timeless insights into the pursuit of individual and political freedom.
Originally published in 1856, the survey begins with a consideration of the contradictory opinions surrounding the revolution's outbreak. It takes an in-depth look at the old regime, including its administration, tribunals, official manners and customs, internecine quarrels, and class divisions. Tocqueville explores a range of influences on the rebellion's development, including the political rise of the nation's literary figures, the growth of antireligious attitudes, and the widespread desire for reform and liberty. This modestly priced edition of his scholarly study is essential reading for anyone with an interest in political philosophy, Enlightenment history, and the French Revolution.

Paperback. Condition: As New. The Old Regime and the French Revolution (2010 Dover Edition) By Alexis de Tocqueville Published by the ever-classy Dover Publications and now proudly (if begrudgingly) offered by Crappy Old Books, this 2010 edition of The Old Regime and the French Revolution drags you deep into the chaotic mind of pre-revolutionary France?where powdered wigs, rigid hierarchies, and bureaucratic absurdities all teetered on the edge of a very sharp guillotine. Written by political philosopher and all-around keen observer Alexis de Tocqueville, this timeless classic dissects how the seeds of revolution were sown not by wild radicals, but by the very system it would later destroy. Equal parts historical deep dive and eerie political mirror, it?s still relevant today?unfortunately. Perfect for readers who want to sound smarter at dinner parties or those trying to figure out how the whole world came unglued?again. Warning : Contains French history, profound insights, and not a single helpful baking recipe. Near new condition. Seller Inventory # 4119
