Gehört zur Reihe
Each of the titles in Turning Points in History examines a major historical watershed. It recounts the chain of events leading up to the event, and the repurcussions, both immediate and long-term. It also evaluates the concept of a turning point, assessing in what way this event really was one. Interpretations run throughout the books, showing how history is informed by a complicated web of divergent views. These books are designed to be thought-provoking, but their approach is direct and embraces the everyday views of ordinary people. They bring history to life, make riveting reading and provide a rich source for topic work and general interest. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

What made this much, much worse was because, as he had been so certain of escape, he could not resist leaving the revolutionaries a little note on his desk saying exactly what he really thought of them.
Can you imagine what was going through his head as he and his family were escorted back to the Paris walls.
I'd like to have been a fly-on-the-wall when he had to explain to his wife, Marie Antoinette, why they were about to be executed.
This is a simplified quick lesson on the French Revolution with emphasis on the Fall of the Bastille. It includes many full colour pictures and is written in a factual, yet amusing way:
e.g. 'Although crowds hailed the king as a supporter of the revolution, members of the royal family knew better'.
Some children get bored easily by long historical texts. This book provides many of the most important facts in as few words as possible.
For that I can't fault it. ( )
