The French Revolution: A History. Volume 2: The Constitution (Version 2)


Gelesen von Peter Dann

(5 stars; 7 reviews)

The second volume of this famous and idiosyncratic history covers events from October 1789, after Louis XVI has been 'persuaded' to leave Versailles and take up residence in Paris, through to August 1792. By the end of this time, Louis and his family have tried, unsuccessfully, to flee the country, France has been invaded by foreign powers, and anti-royalist French militia have brutally massacred a corps of Swiss Guards seeking to defend Louis and his family in their Paris residence. Louis is imprisoned, and it is clear to all that a three year effort to establish a constitutional monarchy have failed. - Summary by Peter Dann (0 hr 6 min)

Excellent book and superb reading


(5 stars)

The reader really does justice to a truly wonderful book. Clear diction. Gives a great reading for a book with a lovely poetic flow. Without a doubt the most poetic history I’ve ever come across. Gives insight into the French Revolution that I had not heard from modern sources. This book is a unique treasure and the skilled reader brings it to life.
