Recenzii
"There is a dazzling light of intellect as much as a thunderous darkness of reality in her fine, humanising portrait" The Times, Ten Best Books of 2006 "Scurr has an important tale to tell, and she tells it judiciously" -- Lucy Hughes-Hallett Sunday Times "Ruth Scurr's aim, in this well written first book, is to provide an accessible, up - to date biography that draws on all this work, and represents Robespierre as a human being rather than as a monster of legend. She succeeds impressively" -- Munro Price Sunday Telegraph "This splendidly balanced account of an unbalanced mind proves that there are monsters of virtue as well as monsters of vice" -- Graham Robb Daily Telegraph "It is judicious, balanced, and admirably clear at every point...It is quite the calmest and least abusive history of the Revolution you will ever read" -- Hilary Mantel London Review of Books
Notă biografică

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Against the dramatic backdrop of the French Revolution, historian Scurr tracks Robespierre's evolution from lawyer to revolutionary leader. This is a fascinating portrait of a man who identified with the Revolution to the point of madness, and in so doing changed the course of history.
