Item description from seller

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the summer of 1789, a peasant woman in the Limousin watched her parish priest read a letter from Versailles about grain prices and taxes. She did not know that she was living through the beginning of a revolution. This book is not about the famous men who made speeches in Paris. It is about the people who woke up one morning in a world where the rules had stopped working. The revolution reached them through bread shortages, military conscription, the closing of churches, and the arrival of revolutionary committees in their villages. In cities like Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes, artisans and workers faced collapsing trade, inflation, and the constant threat of famine while deputies in Paris debated the rights of man. The revolutionary government demanded loyalty, taxes, and sons for the army, but offered little protection from hunger or violence. The Vendée became a civil war where neighbor killed neighbor over faith and land, not ideology. By 1794, the revolution had consumed its own children-local officials executed for insufficient zeal, priests murdered for refusing oaths, and ordinary people caught between the guillotine and starvation. This book reconstructs the daily experience of survival under a regime that claimed to create a new world while burning the old one down. It asks not what the revolution meant, but what it cost in the lives of those who had no choice but to endure it.…
