Part of the acclaimed Cambridge Introduction to the History of Mankind series (Book 7), this volume presents the mounting tensions of 18th-century France — the crushing inequalities, the intellectual fire of the Enlightenment, and the desperate poverty that ignited the most consequential revolution in modern European history.\n\nGeneral Editor Trevor Cairns brings his signature clarity and pedagogical authority to bear on this pivotal period, crafting a narrative that is both accessible and intellectually rigorous. The text illuminates the grand ideological clash between monarchy and popular sovereignty, detailing how ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity reshaped not just France but the entire Western world. Designed to instruct and inspire, this volume leaves the reader confronting a profound question: when the old order crumbles, what rises from the ashes?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342762746075,"sku":"2026200016111-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/54d7a91e-262d-4003-b485-738d87d16d3e.png?v=1790048773","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016111-secondhand-the-old-regime-and-the-revolution","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
