One of the most prominent American historians, professor of Princeton University, Robert Darnton writes about the culture of peasants, artisans, bourgeois, bureaucracy, and the culture of encyclopedists and romantics. Whatever specific event of the 18th century he considers, whether it is the extermination of cats by Parisian printers or the collection of materials for writers by the police inspector, Darnton reveals his background and introduces readers not only with domestic details, but also with the psychology of his heroes. Without deviating from facts and historical truth, he writes so excitingly that scientific work turns almost into a work of art, full of purely French grace.
