About the book: 2016 / The Great French Revolution became a turning point in the history of France, and, perhaps, of all of Europe. The third estate entered the arena of public life. The events of this revolution are shocking not only in their scale, but also in their cruelty: thousands of people became victims of revolutionary terror, which, as its inspirers promised - Marat, Danton, Robespierre - was called upon to clear the way to a bright future for humanity .So who was the victim and who was the villain in these terrible events? And why did the villain sometimes turn into a victim? And is it right to see only white or only black in a person? This book tells about the outstanding people of the French Revolution - Mirabeau, Robespierre, Marat, Danton, Talleyrand, Napoleon and others.
