Book excerpt: The dawn of the French Revolution brought forth a cataclysmic storm that raged across the nation, shaking its foundations to their core. What most people didn't realize, and still don't realize until this day, is the fact that there were regions in France that were not all too pleased with the fact that the French Revolution effectively brought an end to the Ancien Régime, which was what the 'powers that be' were called in France at the time until the bourgeoisie (middle class) stepped in and changed everything. The French Revolution can be considered to be one of the most consuming blazes that tore through the fabric of not only French, but also European Society, challenging traditions, values, and beliefs. In the midst of this turmoil, from the ashes of a crumbling monarchy, emerged a new era, promising liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, within the revolutionary fervor that swept through France, there lay a darkness that threatened to engulf the very soul of the nation. Amidst the chaos and fervent cries for change, a sinister cloud loomed over a small region, the idyllic region of Vendée. Nestled in the western part of France with its lush green landscapes and picturesque villages Vendée, seeming worlds away from the revolutionary fervor that gripped Paris, became the stage for a harrowing battle that pitted brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. It was a clash that would forever be etched in the annals of history as the War in Vendée, an epic struggle fought between the forces of the Revolution and the steadfast defenders of their faith. Sad that, as the winds of change blew across the land, even this tranquil haven could not escape the tendrils of conflict. "The Cross and the Guillotine" unravels the distressing tale of Vendée, a gripping tale of this forgotten war within a region torn between tradition and revolution, faith and intention, loyalty and rebellion, where principles clashed, loyalties were tested, and the very soul of a nation hung in the balance. Against the backdrop of an impending war, it transports us to a time when the guillotine loomed ominously over the French people, its blade thirsty for the blood of those deemed enemies of the Revolution. But amidst the chaos and violence, a group of devout Catholics, known as the Chouans, rallied under the sacred symbol of the cross, resisting the revolutionary tide that sought to drown their belief.
Book Synopsis 1917, Red Banners, White Mantle by : Warren Hasty Carroll
Download or read book 1917, Red Banners, White Mantle written by Warren Hasty Carroll and published by Christendom Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating account that narrates, month by month, the events of 1917. This is popular Catholic history at its finest. The drama of the Great War and the Russian Revolution are juxtaposed with the spiritual dimension of the Age: the diabolism of Rasputin, the Apparition of the Virgin at Fatima, the malignancy of Lenin, the saintly courage of (the now blessed) Charles of Austria. Few standard histories have ever given such a high degree of consideration to the supernatural and the Christian interpretation of history as 1917 does.

Book Synopsis When the King Took Flight by : Timothy Tackett
Download or read book When the King Took Flight written by Timothy Tackett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a June night in 1791, King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette fled Paris in disguise, hoping to escape the mounting turmoil of the French Revolution. They were arrested by a small group of citizens a few miles from the Belgian border and forced to return to Paris. Two years later they would both die at the guillotine. It is this extraordinary story, and the events leading up to and away from it, that Tackett recounts in gripping novelistic style. The king's flight opens a window to the whole of French society during the Revolution. Each dramatic chapter spotlights a different segment of the population, from the king and queen as they plotted and executed their flight, to the people of Varennes who apprehended the royal family, to the radicals of Paris who urged an end to monarchy, to the leaders of the National Assembly struggling to control a spiraling crisis, to the ordinary citizens stunned by their king's desertion. Tackett shows how Louis's flight reshaped popular attitudes toward kingship, intensified fears of invasion and conspiracy, and helped pave the way for the Reign of Terror. Tackett brings to life an array of unique characters as they struggle to confront the monumental transformations set in motion in 1789. In so doing, he offers an important new interpretation of the Revolution. By emphasizing the unpredictable and contingent character of this story, he underscores the power of a single event to change irrevocably the course of the French Revolution, and consequently the history of the world.

Book Synopsis Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond by : Michèle Lowrie
Download or read book Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond written by Michèle Lowrie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can civil war ever be overcome? Can a better order come into being? This book explores how the Roman civil wars of the first century BCE laid the template for addressing perennially urgent questions. The Roman Republic's collapse and Augustus' new Empire have remained ideological battlegrounds to this day. Integrative and disintegrative readings begun in antiquity (Vergil and Lucan) have left their mark on answers given by Christians (Augustine), secular republicans (Victor Hugo), and disillusioned satirists (Michel Houellebecq) alike. France's self-understanding as a new Rome – republican during the Revolution, imperial under successive Napoleons – makes it a special case in the Roman tradition. The same story returns repeatedly. A golden age of restoration glimmers on the horizon, but comes in the guise of a decadent, oriental empire that reintroduces and exposes everything already wrong under the defunct republic. Central to the price of social order is patriarchy's need to subjugate women.
Book Synopsis The Cross Is Not Enough by : Ross Clifford
Download or read book The Cross Is Not Enough written by Ross Clifford and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Christ had not risen from the dead, if God's plan for redemption had ended at the cross, what would our faith look like? Have we become so fixated on the cross that we have lost an understanding of the centrality of the resurrection? And if we ignore the resurrection, what effect does that have on our worldview, our evangelism, and our Christian practice? In The Cross Is Not Enough, Ross Clifford and Philip Johnson explore how the resurrection of Christ has been understood in times past and restore this linchpin doctrine to its rightful place as the basis of our hope, our worldview, and the way we live our lives. They compare Christianity's unique understanding of resurrection to other world religions and explore why the resurrection connects so readily with the human psyche. Pastors, teachers, students, and anyone involved in ministry will benefit from this insightful and engaging treatment of Christianity's most important doctrine.

Book excerpt: “The French Revolution comes alive through the eyes of six diverse and complex women, in the skilled hands of these amazing authors.”--Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls A breathtaking, epic novel illuminating the hopes, desires, and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and wives, fanatics and philosophers—seven unforgettable women whose paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and transformative events in history: the French Revolution. Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women to start a revolution—and change the world. In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise—upending a world order that has long oppressed them. Blue-blooded Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women’s march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The king’s pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head. But when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolution’s ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France’s blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesan’s daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls France’s fate: the fearsome Robespierre.
