The Old Regime and the Great Revolution (refined Translation·collector's Edition)
by (france) Alexis De Tocqueville
About This Novel
Tocqueville's "The Old Regime and the Revolution" is a classic work about the French Revolution. This is not a history of the French Revolution, but a study of the changes and impacts of the political system behind the Revolution. Through in-depth research on documents, archives and events related to the French Revolution, Tocqueville groundbreakingly answered the following questions: Why did the revolution accelerate at the most prosperous and enlightened period of the old system? Why did the revolution first break out in places with the least oppression? Why did revolutionaries angrily destroy all existing political systems? Did centralization of power and freedom of speech lead to people's demanding demands on the government? In order to realize the equality they love, why people would rather not have freedom, etc. Through in-depth discussions on these issues, Tocqueville clarified the relationship between the four important political concepts of democracy, autocracy, freedom, and equality in a general sense.
