The French Revolution: Peasants' Struggle and an Ignored History (milestone Library)
About This Novel
In this book, David Andrés makes a shocking statement: It was the French peasant class that made the Revolution of 1789 a victory and defended its final results. For a long time, when people talked about this revolution, they only focused on the French aristocracy, elites, and citizens. But in fact, the struggle of the peasant class benefited a wider group of people and had a greater impact. Historical works devote more space to telling the stories of Robespierre, Danton, and Napoleon, but ignore the French farmers who took the lead in rising up in this revolution, and their active role in desperately defending their political rights and the rights of the people at the bottom. This book shows us a rural world full of conscience, diligence and down-to-earth, and shows how people in this world struggle to defend their lives and work hard for future generations and the collective.
