About this listen

Explore the captivating history of the French Revolution.

Few historical events are as greatly revered and entirely misunderstood as the French Revolution that began in 1789. The memory of this complicated and lengthy political, violent uprising has been generally painted in broad - and oversimplified - strokes.

While the French Revolution was certainly centered around two lavish monarchs and an enlightened common class, there was so much more going on behind the scenes.

In The French Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Ten-Year Revolution in France and the Impact Made by Napoleon Bonaparte, you will discover topics such as:

  • A brief history of the French Monarchy
  • Philosophies of the times
  • France in the 18th century
  • Marie Antoinette, Madame Deficit
  • Taxes, famine, and the Enlightenment
  • Sieyes’ “What Is the Third Estate?”
  • The National Assembly
  • Death of the Dauphin
  • Bastille Day
  • The first mayor of Paris
  • Declaration of the Rights of Man...and the Women’s March
  • France at war
  • The Flight to Varennes
  • Storming the Tuileries
  • The monarchy is outlawed
  • The fate of the colonies
  • The Louisiana Purchase
  • The Reign of Terror
  • The new French calendar
  • Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte
  • In the days and years afterward
  • And much, much more!

So, if you want to learn more about the French Revolution, then listen to this audiobook now!

This audiobook is amazingly well-researched... and just a bit dry narrative that may be because of its topic.

Top History Book.

However I have only had time so far to listen to the first of few chapters, this is a very enjoyable, clear, and readable account of the French Revolution.

To my mind this is one of the best overviews of the grand event and its nearly overwhelming complexity.

More than a Compelling Read

Classic work of political philosophy that remains relevant two centuries later. A must read in a well annotated edition

I would probably recommend it over this particular work. Again, though, I truly admire author's efforts here. Worth the read. Just a bit of a plodder comparatively

All the other reviews I have read have reviewed the book in isolation. It's better listen to Captivating History's all audiobooks especially The French Revolution, deservedly classics.

Great addition to your library.
