The first Russian complete scientifically commented translation of the best work of “Father of Historical Knowledge”, “Creator of the History of France”, the brightest representative of romantic historiography Jules Michele (1798-1874) Being the most famous historical and documentary art of one of the most important events in the history of mankind, the “History of the French Revolution” (1847-1853)-by virtue of its grandeur, was still out of the attention of domestic publishers.
well documented, covering almost all aspects of revolutionary events in France 1789-1794, full of subtle observations, it is not only a historical, but also an outstanding literary work of a romantic era. Under the pen of J. Michel, who is considered one of the largest French stylists of the 19th century, the history of France received an artistic embodiment equal to which it is difficult to find in historiography. This is a narrative based on archival sources, many of which were subsequently lost, and the evidence of contemporaries, is read as an exciting novel, and the strength of the artistic images of heroes and events created by the author had an influence both on the subsequent historiography of the French Revolution, and in general on the whole French literature.
“Poem about the French people” - this is the most capacious definition, which was the immortal work of J. Michel.
The publication is equipped with an extensive scientific (in depth and coverage - encyclopedic) apparatus, reflecting the current state of historiography and literary criticism, including circumstances, a detailed commentary, an announced name pointer and chronological tables.
The six -volume is richly illustrated: reproduced approx. 500 engravings from the intravital publications of Michel and his contemporaries
