Publisher's Synopsis
The People is a historical and philosophical book written by Jules Michelet in 1846. The author presents a comprehensive study of the French people, their culture, and their history. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the origins of the French people, their language, and their customs. The second part of the book focuses on the political and social history of France, including the French Revolution and the struggles of the working class.Michelet's writing style is poetic and passionate, and he presents a romanticized view of the French people as a collective entity. He argues that the French people have a unique character and spirit that has been shaped by their history, geography, and culture. He also emphasizes the importance of the common people in shaping the course of history, and he celebrates the struggles of the working class against oppression and injustice.Overall, The People is a seminal work in French history and an important contribution to the study of nationalism and national identity. It remains a classic of French literature and a fascinating exploration of the French people and their culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
