Paperback. Zustand: Good. The French Revolution ? Vol. II ? From Its Origins to 1793 Georges Lefebvre ? Columbia University Press ISBN: either too shy to show itself or lost to history Condition: Good ? Ex-Library Suspiciously barcoded and cheerfully resold by: Crappy Old Books If you?ve ever thought, ?I?d like to understand the French Revolution, but only once it?s properly complicated and everyone is wearing symbolic hats,? then Volume II is your moment. Forget gentle introductions. Georges Lefebvre drops you straight into the serious bit: from the long, simmering origins all the way to 1793, that charming year when ?heads will roll? stopped being metaphorical. This is proper history: Not ?10 Fun Facts About Marie Antoinette,? Not ?The French Revolution in Memes,? But the detailed, rigorous, inevitably slightly grim march of events that turned an absolute monarchy into something altogether sharper and more guillotine-flavoured. Lefebvre is one of the heavyweight historians of the French Revolution. His speciality: taking centuries of social and economic buildup, elite panic, famished peasants, angry townsfolk, and overconfident aristocrats, then explaining how it all detonated. You?ll get: The deep origins of revolutionary tension (spoiler: it wasn?t just cake), The escalating crises, reforms, and non-reforms, The joyous, chaotic, occasionally blood-splattered arrival of 1789, The long slide into 1793, where the phrase ?this will all calm down soon? aged very badly. In short: it?s the story of how everyone, at every level of society, managed to be both right and catastrophically wrong at the same time. Now, let?s talk about this particular copy , because it?s a character in its own right. It proudly claims to be published in 1964, yet it bears a suspiciously fresh barcode on the back like a revolutionary slogan sprayed on a very old wall. Is it a later printing? A reissued classic? A quiet library rebinding job? A conspiracy by cataloguers with too much time and too many labels? We may never know. There is no clear print date , just that 1964 statement and a barcode that looks like it?s seen the 21st century. This copy exists in a liminal bibliographic zone, much like France in 1792: officially one thing, practically something else. As a proud ex-library survivor, this book has already lived a life of public service: It has probably been borrowed by earnest undergraduates in chunky knitwear, Consulted by desperate grad students at 2 a.m., And opened by at least one person who thought, ?I?ll just skim a chapter,? and then accidentally learned quite a lot. From its library past, you may expect: Stamps, labels, or other institutional graffiti declaring ownership of a library that no longer wants it but still haunts the title page. A plastic cover at some point in its history, now gone or perhaps faintly imprinted in scuffs and shine. The lingering aura of fluorescent lighting, quiet panic, and overdue fines. Condition: Good , by the robust standards of Crappy Old Books , means: The spine is sound, pages attached, and the text fully readable ? no symbolic tearing out of chapters à la counter-revolution. The cover shows ordinary wear: mild edge rubbing, slight creasing, the odd knock. Not pristine, not tragic. More ?middle-aged professor who still uses chalk? than ?antique relic.? The pages have likely mellowed to a pleasant academic beige, perhaps with marginal notes or underlining from someone who really meant to finish their thesis. If you find a scribbled ?THIS IS IMPORTANT? in the margins, they were probably right. Things you will not find here: Glossy colour illustrations of Versailles and ?fun pull-out timelines.? A breezy, simplified ?for dummies? tone. Lefebvre assumes you can handle nuance, dates, and the sobering realisation that history is complicated and everybody thought they were the reasonable one. A handy ?what character from the French Revolution are you?? quiz. (Although after reading, you may quietly suspect you?re closer to ?confused member of the Third Estate? than ?dashing revolutionary hero.?) This volume is especially suitable if you are: The sort of reader who enjoys long, careful arguments about cause and effect rather than, ?They were just angry.? A history enthusiast who wants to move beyond guillotine clichés and into the messy, layered reality of how revolutions actually happen. Someone who appreciates the oddity of a book that is both 1964 in its soul and barcoded like a supermarket yoghurt . A collector of ex-library oddities, where each stamp and sticker is part of the book?s journey?like battle scars, but for monographs. Yes, this is Volume II . No, we do not guarantee you will ever find Volume I. That?s part of the charm: like the Revolution itself, you start in the middle and work out what must have happened before from context, deduction, and the occasional furious footnote. So here it is: A serious, heavyweight history of the French Revolution? In Good condition, faintly bureaucratised by its barcode, lightly haunted by its ex-library past, and cheerfully sent forth into its next intellectual uprising by Crappy Old Books .
