About This Novel

This book first explains the multi-layered meaning, inner essence and multiple influences of the "break" belief as the most important feature of the political culture of the French Revolution from the perspective of elite culture, the connection and conflict between tradition and reality, idealism and realism. It explains that the so-called complete break with the old tradition by the French revolutionaries is actually a struggle within the old tradition. It gives a convincing explanation for the historical cycle that the French Revolution started with the opposition to the monarchy and ended with the acceptance of the monarchy. Then it explains the revolutionary consciousness and crisis consciousness derived from the "break" consciousness from the perspective of popular culture, and expounds and demonstrates the principle of publicity in the politics of the French Revolution from the perspective of mental history, and its multiple connections with the rebirth of autocratic dictatorship and the decline of the Jacobins. The author reveals the basic characteristics of the mass phenomena during the Revolution, and emphasizes the importance of the mass phenomena of the Revolution to understanding the political style of France since the Revolution, and even the entire political and cultural tradition of the Revolution. The author's intense thinking will undoubtedly lead readers into the historical deep waters of the French Revolution and rethink the difficult proposition of the Revolution.
