About This Novel
"Rousseau's Revolution" is the 10th volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". Rousseau was the direct ideological promoter of the French Revolution. He created nothing but burned everything. "Rousseau and the Revolution" depicts a panoramic view of Europe from the "Seven Years' War" to the French Revolution. With Rousseau as the central figure, Durant vividly narrates the growth of intellectuals, the transformation of moral concepts and social order, the rise and fall of autocratic rule, the disenchantment of religion and the emergence of democracy in the 18th century. At the same time, he provides biographies of countless brilliant figures who emerged in this era. With his extensive historical knowledge and powerful writing, Durant weaves a complex tapestry of great eras and outstanding figures.
