Q

About This Novel

This is a "study of the French Revolution," not another history of the Revolution. In the book, Tocqueville tried to explain: Why is it that almost all of Europe has the same political system, and how do they collapse everywhere? Why did feudal privileges become more abhorrent to the French people than elsewhere? Why is the centralized administrative system a system of the Old Regime and not a creation of the Revolution or the Empire? Why were people in 18th-century France more similar to each other than people in other countries, yet at the same time separate and indifferent to each other? Despite the continuous progress of civilization, why was the situation of French peasants in the 18th century sometimes even worse than that of the peasants in the 13th century? Why did French literati become the country's main political figures in the 18th century? Why do the French prefer reform first and freedom later? Why does the administrative revolution precede the political revolution? The period of Louis XVI was the most prosperous period of the old dynasty. How did this prosperity accelerate the revolution?
