Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Sections de Paris Pendant la Révolution Française
La Révolution française est en grande partie l'oeuvre du peuple de Paris. C'est chez lui et surtout par lui qu'elle s'est faite. Il y a consacré sa force, son énergie. Et, durant quatre années, il n'a guère vécu, lutté, souffert que pour elle. Un tel facteur n'est point à négliger dans l'histoire de cette crise nationale. Les historiens l'ont bien compris, et tous ont signalé l'influence de la capitale sur la dirce tion des afi'aires; mais, entraînés par la rapidité des faits, ils n'ont pu accorder à cette cité qu'une place étroite, petite, disproportionnée à l'importance de son rôle. Ils ont sur tout montré l'action de la municipalité, c'est - à - dire des élus du peuple. Et non celle du peuple lui-même. Chez lui, dans ses sections. Ces sections, elles interviennent bien aussi dans les récits des historiens, mais seulement aux heures exceptionnellement graves quand la situa tion semble désespérée, on les voit_apparaître brusque ment, trancher la difficulté, et rentrer ensuite dans l'ombre.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the inner workings of the sections of Paris during the transformative years of the French Revolution. These sections, composed of nearly 50 districts, were not simply electoral bodies but played a vital role in the day-to-day administration of the city, organizing everything from food distribution to public safety to the raising of volunteers for the revolutionary armies. The author reveals the sections' increasing autonomy and political influence, which led to frequent clashes with the elected municipal government and, ultimately, to their pivotal role in the decisive events of the Revolution, such as the storming of the Bastille and the overthrow of the monarchy. Through meticulous research and vivid accounts, this book provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of popular participation in one of history's most tumultuous periods, enhancing our understanding of the complex interplay between local action and national events. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334641855_0
