Alan Kahan's new translation finally provides a faithful and readable rendering in English of Tocqueville's last masterpiece, surpassing existing English editions of the work which are now decades old. The first translation to be based on the forthcoming French critical edition, it includes notes and variants, which reveal Tocqueville's sources as well as new material from his drafts and revisions. The reader will also find a new introduction and other discussions by France's most eminent scholars on Tocqueville and the French Revolution, Franç oise Mé lonio and the late Franç ois Furet.
A major scholarly event, this handsomely produced book will be the definitive English edition of on of the great books in modern intellectual history.
Franç ois Furet (1992-1997) was the leading French historian of the Revolution and, according to the "New York Times," "oneof the most influential French thinkers of the post-war era." Franç oise Mé lonio is the editor of Gallimard's critical edition of Tocqueville's complete works.
"Franç oise Furet . . . challenged the popular Marxist interpretation of the French Revolution and reshaped French thinking about subsequent events. His lifelong fascination with the French Revolution and his many books on it . . . earned him a special place among historians."- "New York Times," 16 July 1997
