The author of "The Barmecides," a critically acclaimed tragedy, draws from his study of history, literature, and philosophy to provide nuanced analysis of the French Revolution and the political and philosophical debates of his day. The book also includes translations of Greek and Latin texts with extensive annotation from the author and several biographies written by M. de la Harpe himself.
