En janvier 1789, bravant l'interdit qui leur est fait d'exprimer leurs doléances, les femmes osent faire entendre leur voix. De Normandie, Madame B. B. écrit : "Étant démontré, avec raison, qu'un noble ne peut représenter un roturier ni celui-ci un noble, de même les femmes ne pourraient être représentées que par des femmes." Après 1791 et la Déclaration des droits de la femme et de la citoyenne, d'Olympe de Gouges, les femmes, toujours exclues de la citoyenneté, exigent leurs droits et les fondent sur les principes mêmes de la Révolution.

This insightful exploration begins on the brink of the French Revolution, as a financially mismanaged government struggles under a King described by the author as devoid of both ability and energy. The discontent of a tax-burdened peasantry and an ambitious middle class fuels a revolution that spirals beyond its architects control, plunging France into the depths of the Terror and international conflict. Enter Napoleon, a figure of remarkable diligence and quick understanding, whose ambition and vulgar desire for recognition ultimately lead to his nations tragic downfall. The narrative traces ...

Story0
In 1789 a group of sober-minded, concerned citizens set in motion a series of events which were to end up leading to the deaths of thousands of perfectly innocent persons. How did this reasonable movement of level-headed civic leaders spin out of control? At a glance, the French Revolution appears a bewildering series of political factions sweeping in and out of power, massacre and counter-massacre, terror and guillotine, and one economic crisis following another.

Story0
The work, which was admired by Herman Melville and Joseph Conrad for its authentic portrayal of a seafaring life and takes place during the American Revolution, launched a whole genre of maritime fiction. It features a mysterious and almost superhuman American sea pilot (based on the American hero John Paul Jones) who fights battles off the coast of England against the British and American loyalists. One of the book’s themes is the ambiguous nature of loyalty. Although often bogged down by complicated nautical terminology and intrusive philosophical dialogue, the novel is nevertheless noted ...

Natty Bumppo goes by many names: La Longue Carabine, Hawk Eye, Leatherstocking, and in this tale, The Pathfinder. Guide, scout, hunter, and when put to it, soldier, he also fills a lot of roles in pre-Revolution upstate New York. An old friend, Sergeant Dunham of the 55th Regiment of Foot, asks him to guide his daughter through the wilderness to the fort at Oswego where Dunham serves. With the French engaging native Indian allies against the British and the Yankee colonists, such a journey is far from safe. Dunham has a plan in mind - to see his daughter Mable married off to the most ...

Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749) was the first widely-read English novel in the genre “Erotica.” It was written by John Cleland as he was serving hard time at a debtor’s prison in London. Over the centuries, the novel has been repeatedly banned by authorities, assuring its preeminent role in the history of the ongoing struggle against censorship of free expression.Until Fanny Hill, previous heroines had conducted their amorous liaisons “off-stage.” Any erotic misadventures were described euphemistically. As women who had gone astray, they always repented, which made ...
