The Old Regime and the Revolution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the French Revolution from a unique angle, showing how it was the culmination of centuries of social and political evolution in Europe. The author argues that the Revolution was not a radical break from the past but rather the logical conclusion of a long process of change that had been underway for centuries. He traces the origins of the Revolution to the feudal system, which had created a rigid social hierarchy that stifled individual freedom and economic growth. By the eighteenth century, this system had become increasingly unpopular, and the French Revolution was the final straw that broke the camel's back. The book offers a fresh perspective on the Revolution by showing how it was part of a larger historical process that had been shaping Europe for centuries. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of one of the most important events in modern history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330456774_0
