About the book: 1959 / On July 28, 1794, the head of Maximilian Robespierre fell, cut off with a guillotine knife, to the screams and hooting of the crowd. The crowd dispersed, and no one then thought that he was present at the death of the Great French bourgeois revolution. The Jacobins, who carried out the most radical revolution in the history of mankind at that time, were replaced by the big bourgeoisie, who poured blood on all the gains of the revolutionary people, preserving from their heritage only what was beneficial to them. The book of A. P. Levandovsky is not only a biography of the leader of the Jacobins Robespierre, but also a meticulous chronicle of the events of the French Revolution, since Robespierre's life is inseparable from it. Robespierre did not fight on the barricades, he was not among the Parisians storming the Bastille. The Incorruptible spent his entire short life either at a desk in the wretched closet of the carpenter Dupleix’s apartment, or in the stands of the National Assembly, the Convention, and the Jacobin Club. But with his speeches, draft laws, his will and unparalleled devotion to revolutionary ideas, Robespierre influenced all the events of the revolutionary struggle. He was its ideologist, its banner, its leader. Many fatal mistakes and hesitations marked his life's path, but he never retreated, never compromised. The son of the third estate, Incorruptible expressed the aspirations and hopes of the petty bourgeoisie, she was his support in the fight against the remnants of feudalism and the absolutist monarchy. With the death of Robespierre, the upward flow of the French Revolution ended.
