Publisher's summary
¿Fue la libertad la causa o el producto de la Revolución francesa?
La mejor crónica sobre uno de los periodos estelares de la humanidad.
Ciudadanos no es la versión trillada de un régimen muriendo de enfermedad y decrepitud, sino el reflejo de la transformación que cambió la historia de Europa para siempre: el paso de hombres y mujeres de «sujetos» a «ciudadanos». Partiendo de la idea de que la fe de los ciudadanos en la libertad fue la causa más que el producto de la Revolución francesa, Schama dibuja un país en ebullición en el que se derrumban las diferencias entre nobles y plebeyos, en un escenario de hambre, ira, terror y muerte.
A través de la historia social, cultural y política, Schama encuentra el marco de su historia en imágenes y artefactos, cerámicas y calendarios y, con su particular punto de vista, nos acerca más que nunca a la realidad humana de la Revolución Francesa.
Reseñas:
«El mejor libro que he leído sobre la Revolución francesa.»
Richard Cobb
«Monumental, provocador y refinado. La descripción que hace Schama de los primeros años de la gran Revolución que se apoderó de Francia y de las décadas que la precedieron, son difíciles de superar.»
Eugene Weber, The New York Times Book Review
«No he leído nada que pueda compararse al épico relato de Schama que tiene la capacidad de sumergir al lector en los años más violentos de ese "fermento universal" que fue la Revolución.»
Christopher Hibbert, Sunday Times
«Deslumbrante... supera todos los elogios. Schama describe en las páginas de este maravilloso libro las vicisitudes de ese mundo con una comprensión, sabiduría, compasión y verdad inigualables.»
Bernard Levin
«Schamabrinda una imagen sin parangón de las corrientes y contradicciones que conformaron esta terrible secuencia de sucesos.»
Antont Beevor, Express
«La sabiduría de Schama es la causa del placer y la admiración que provoca la lectura de esta obra. La humanidad de sus veredictos representa un logro formidable, a menudo conmovedor.»
George Steiner, The New Yorker
«Un brillante tour de force. Este extraordinario libro identifica y transmite la esencia de la Revolución, lo atractivo de su llamada, el secreto de su poder y la razón de su eventual fracaso: la violencia.»
Tim Blanning, Independent
«A cambio, Ciudadanos cuenta la Historia enhebrando historias, relatos personales que matiza con la agudeza de la novela y eleva a algo más, a un conocimiento histórico nuevo, lleno de desmentidos y paradojas.»
Luis Alemany, El Mundo
«Imprescindible para quien busque una idea objetiva de esos años que decidieron el destino del mundo.»
Gabriel Albiac, ABC

Story
Roma, año 77 a.C. El cruel senador Dolabela va a ser juzgado por corrupción, pero ha contratado a los mejores abogados, ha comprado al jurado y, además, es conocido por usar la violencia contra todos los que se enfrentan a él. Nadie se atreve a ser el fiscal, hasta que de pronto, contra todo pronóstico, un joven patricio de tan solo veintitrés años acepta llevar la acusación, defender al pueblo de Roma y desafiar el poder de las élites. El nombre del desconocido abogado es Cayo Julio César.

Story
En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

On September 26, 2020, Michael was in a great mood. He’d recently returned home to Oklahoma after years in the military. He’d bought a house and had a job teaching and coaching basketball at the local high school. But that night, Michael’s life would turn upside down. Around two o’clock in the morning, he heard people banging on the doors and windows of his home. He called 911 for help. This is the story of what happened next, and why. To understand it, we have to go back to the Trail of Tears that the Five Tribes were forced to walk.
