Bemerkungen

Mit Widmung des Verfassers. Umschlag berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - After more than centuries the French Revolution retains its extraordinary capacity to excite horror and pity, loathing and admiration. In The Way of the Tumbrils a dozen of its most turbulent and tragic episodes are dramatically retold in an entirely new way. The very streets., houses, prisons, and churches which once echoed with the roaring of the crowds, the shouts of the victims, and the thudding of the guillotine come alive again against the background of those s^me streets and houses in Paris as they are today. Charlotte Corday's fantastic murder of Marat in his bath; Danton's famous trial and betrayal; the violent end of Robespierre, dictator of The Terror; the massacre of the priests; the long agony of Marie-Antoinette in her dungeon by the Seine -all are here recreated by the author so that the reader really seems to be in Paris during the Revolution as an eye-witness.
