About this listen

In this captivating first volume of Thomas Carlyles acclaimed trilogy, The French Revolution A History, originally published in 1837, we delve into the dramatic events leading up to the fall of the Bastille and the consequential shift of Louis XVI from the opulence of Versailles to the heart of Paris. Carlyles unique narrative style—immersive and present-tense—brings the historical figures and tumultuous events to life, providing a gripping account that remains relevant today. While modern listeners may encounter a flurry of unfamiliar names and references, such as Oeuil de Boeuf for the kings palace and Jean Jacques referring to Rousseau, Carlyle’s storytelling swiftly captivates and educates. Join us on this riveting journey through one of historys most transformative periods. - Summary by Peter Dann
