Publisher's Synopsis
The People (1846) is a historical and sociological book written by French author Jules Michelet. The book explores the history of the common people throughout Europe, focusing on their struggles, achievements, and contributions to society. Michelet argues that the people have played a crucial role in shaping the course of history, and that their experiences and perspectives are just as important as those of the ruling classes.Throughout the book, Michelet examines various aspects of the lives of the people, including their work, religion, culture, and politics. He discusses the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the working class, the role of religion in shaping popular beliefs and values, and the ways in which the people have organized themselves to resist oppression and assert their rights.The People is a groundbreaking work in the field of social history, and it remains a classic of French literature. It offers a powerful and insightful analysis of the experiences and struggles of ordinary people, and it continues to inspire readers to think critically about the role of the people in shaping the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
