Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A brilliant and fascinating book.De Baecque's historical method is original and provocative. His insights into the French Revolution are startling and fresh. And when it comes to the ghoulish recesses of the revolutionary imagination, he is one of the best guides since that contemporary expert in the macabre subject, the Marquis de Sade." -"The New Republic "Rewarding strong-stomached readers with a riveting tale, "Glory and Terror limns the era at a visceral level." -"The Chronicle of Higher Education "One of the leading historians of the French Revolution chronicles the history of the body as a vehicle of Revolutionary passions. A strikingly vivid work.." -Patrice Higgonet, Goelet Professor of French History, Harvard University "De Baecque brings a cinematic sensibility to his engrossing and startling study of seven exemplary deaths during the French Revolution. The morbid and macabre come alive in these exquisitely honedstudies which reveal over and over the freshness and originality of this wide-ranging, multi-talented, and keenly observant writer. I can imagine no better way to get inside the experience of revolutionary upheaval.." -Lynn Hunt, Eugen Weber Professor of Modern European History, UCLA
