The book aims to provide a concise overview of the causes, events, and aftermath of the French Revolution, focusing particularly on the political and economic aspects that characterized French society before and during this tumultuous period. The author draws on various historical sources and previous scholarly works to elucidate the complex dynamics that culminated in the revolution. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for understanding the societal conditions in France during the 18th century, emphasizing the stark class divisions and the oppressive structures that fueled discontent among the populace. Mallet describes the centralization of power located in the monarchy, the privileges of the nobles and clergy, and the struggles of the common people, especially the peasants who were burdened by heavy taxation and feudal dues. He also introduces prominent intellectual movements that challenged existing norms, hinting at the philosophical undercurrents that would contribute to the revolutionary fervor. This opening portion effectively outlines the societal tensions leading up to the revolution, preparing readers for a deeper exploration of the events that followed.
