À propos de cet audio

From one of the truly preeminent historians of our time, this is a landmark book chronicling the French Revolution. Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary notion that the French Revolution represented an uprising of the oppressed poor against a decadent aristocracy and corrupt court. He argues instead that the revolution was born of a rift among the elite over the speed of progress toward modernity and science, social and economic change. Schama’s approach, weaving in and out of private and public lives in the fashion of a novel, brings us closer than we have ever been to the harrowing and seductive French Revolution.

This seems to be a very thorough and interesting history of the French Revolution. Unfortunately, starting from around an hour in, the recording frequently skips as though listening to a scratched CD (I’m guessing this is where the recording was sourced). The problem gets worse with time, to the point that it becomes incomprehensible in places.

This version is not worth investing in.
