Epicentre of the Revolution of 1789, erstwhile bastion of the skilled working-class and centre of radical agitation, along with Pigalle and Montmartre a focus for popular and raffish night-life in the early twentieth century, the Bastille area of Eastern Paris (also known as the Faubourg Saint-Antoine) is now an ethnically and socially mixed quartier which still bears the traces of its previous avatars. In a fascinating tour, Keith Reader charts the history and cultural geography of this unique area of Paris, from the fortress and prison that gave the area its name to the building of the largest and costliest opera house in the world.

The French Revolution brings to mind violent mobs, the guillotine, and Madame Defarge, but it was also a publishing revolution: more than 1,200 novels were published between 1789 and 1804, when Napoleon declared the Revolution at an end. In this book, Julia V. Douthwaite explores how the works within this enormous corpus announced the new shapes of literature to come and reveals that vestiges of these stories can be found in novels by the likes of Mary Shelley, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, and L. Frank Baum. Deploying political history, archival research, and textual analysis with eye-opening results, Douthwaite focuses on five major events between 1789 and 1794-first in newspapers, then in fiction-and shows how the symbolic stories generated by Louis XVI, Robespierre, the market women who stormed Versailles, and others were transformed into new tales with ongoing appeal. She uncovers a 1790 story of an automaton-builder named Frankénsteïn, links Baum to the suffrage campaign going back to 1789, and discovers a royalist anthem's power to undo Balzac's Père Goriot. Bringing to light the missing links between the ancien régime and modernity, The Frankenstein of 1790 and Other Lost Chapters from Revolutionary France is an ambitious account of a remarkable politico-literary moment and its aftermath.

Een jonge Romein ziet de Vesuvius uitbarsten die in het jaar 79 de stad Pompeji bedelft, een reiziger dineert in 450 met Attila de Hun, een soldaat beschrijft in zijn dagboek de slag bij Waterloo, de marconist van de Titanic ziet zijn schip ten onder gaan, een Engelse journalist wandelt met Hitler door de brandende Rijksdag. Geert Mak en René van Stipriaan verzamelden ruim honderd authentieke verslagen van belangrijke momenten uit de wereldgeschiedenis. Uit dagboeken, brieven, reisverslagen en krantenartikelen destilleerden zij een reeks kleine en grote reportages die één eigenschap gemeen hebben: de auteur is er persoonlijk bij geweest. De verslagen zijn heet van de naald op papier gezet; soms met duidelijk hoorbare emotie, vaak met verwondering, en altijd met een scherp oog voor details. In deze nieuwe editie zijn de meeste verslagen voorzien van bijzondere, aangrijpende en soms zelfs schokkkende illustraties, waardoor de beschreven gebeurtenissen nog sterker op de lezer zullen inwerken.
