  1. 1. Revolução Francesa

    A concise, narrative account that traces the Revolution’s origins in fiscal crisis, social inequality and Enlightenment thought, follows the unfolding years from the convocation of the Estates‑General and the storming of the Bastille to the abolition of feudal privileges, the radicalization under the Jacobins and the Terror, and the Thermidorian reaction and rise of a new order; the work emphasizes the interplay of political struggles, popular mobilization and ideological conflict and evaluates how these upheavals transformed French institutions, notions of citizenship and the foundations of modern politics.
